Hedge Accounting and Fair Value Disclosure Software The increasingly stringent and unforgiving regulatory environment calls for a modern, next-generation, integrated commodity trading and risk management system. Organizations that attempt to comply with Hedge Accounting regulations FAS 133 (including FAS 161 disclosures), IAS 39, CICA 3865, AASB 139 and SAS 133 and Fair Value Disclosure regulations FAS 157 and IFRS 7 without a sophisticated system put company reputation, earnings and stock value at risk.   Hedge Accounting Business Problem: Wildly Fluctuating Earnings While hedging can minimize economic risk from commodity price fluctuations, it also creates a difficult and complex management problem. Volatility of derivatives, marked-to-market and shown on the income statement, can create large swings in earnings from period to period.
