OneSumX Hedge Accounting features

OneSumX Hedge Accounting is designed to fit within the contours of the evolving IFRS 9 accounting standards and U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). Teams can model valuations, enhancing insight into sensitivities of assets to interest rate movements and other risk factors. This is equally useful in asset and liability management and stress testing.

A further dimension of hedge accounting is the hedge level, which can be applied to one micro hedge and another financial instrument, or to a macro hedge that applies to a portfolio of hedged items. The following features and process flow is supported for all combinations of hedge types and hedge levels.

  • Hedge designation and documentation

    Step one includes designation of the hedges. Setup and management of hedge designation (and rebalancing).

  • Fair value and hedged risk calculations

    Step two includes valuations of items and instruments. This means multi-curve and hypothetical derivative valuations can be covered.

  • Effectiveness testing

    This supports methodologies like Critical Terms Match, Dollar Offset Method and/or the Linear Regression Method. Our solution also offers the flexibility to test hedges with a combination of methods.

  • Dashboard, limit management and disclosures

    Explore options for integration with the dashboarding and business intelligence capabilities of OneSumX for Finance, which makes it fit for limit monitoring and trend analysis.
