Course Description
Accounting for derivatives and hedges has a reputation for being among the most arcane in accounting. In Accounting for Derivatives and Hedges, we attempt to reduce this concern by focusing first on the nature of derivative instruments and how they function. After a clear and thorough presentation on derivatives, we proceed to the essentials of how to account for them. Topics covered include the nature of risk, hedging, risk management, and accounting for derivatives and major types of hedges.
You can find the answers to many questions about derivatives and hedges in this course, including:
