May 23, 2019 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm CST
Starting in 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ‘s (FASB) is simplifying the hedge accounting process under ASC 815. The changes emanate from Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-12, which goes into effect for public entities for fiscal year-end reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The goal of this amendent was to ease the application of hedge accounting in certain situations, and to allow greater transparency and understanding of hedging results. The last-of-layer method is a new approach under fair value hedge accounting that can be used to maximize hedge effectiveness and mitigate market risk for hedges of prepayable fixed rate assets. All depository and lending institutions should be aware of the new guidance and its benefits for managing risk across the balance sheet. In this session we will discuss 1,2, and 3.
