Description
Contents
Huge losses have been incurred by several companies in India and abroad on derivatives used for "hedging" interest rate and currency exposures, in the recent past. This has exposed a major weakness: lack of understanding of derivatives and their usage. There has been an acute lack of clarity even among professionals on understanding what constitutes hedging, and the difference between risk reduction and cost reduction. The issue of hedge effectiveness, especially with the mandatory use of Accounting Standard 30 and disclosure norms from 2011 onwards, becomes critical for company auditors as well.
In this context, Currency Exposures and Derivatives: Risk, Hedging, Speculation and Accounting-A Corporate Treasurer's Handbook, a distillate of the author's rich experience in advising companies, banks and teaching B school students and executives,comes as a topical and much needed offering for corporate treasurers, chartered accountants, auditors, bankers, and students and faculty of management schools.
A companion volume to his book Cash and Derivatives Markets in Foreign Exchange, this book covers:
Types of currency exposures and their effects on the bottom-line of businesses
Exchange rate movements
Risk management issues and policies for corporate treasuries
Use and misuse of derivatives
Provisions of AS 11, AS 16 and AS 30 related to the accounting issues and the rules for establishing hedge effectiveness
