The derivative practitioner s expert guide to IFRS 9 application Accounting for Derivatives explains the likely accounting implications of a proposed transaction on derivatives strategy, in alignment with the IFRS 9 standards. The Derivative Practitioner's Expert Guide to IFRS 9 Application "The main goal of IFRS is to safeguard investors by achieving uniformity and transparency in the accounting principles. One of the main challenging aspects of the IFRS rules is the accounting treatment of derivatives and its link with risk management." -From the Preface "In my view, the second edition of Accounting for Derivatives is an invaluable tool for hedge accounting practitioners. It tackles complex issues in a user friendly manner by providing step-by-step guidance to most common hedging strategies applied in each of the markets covered. The detailed application of IFRS concepts to real life case studies provide an additional benefit for the more theoretically minded of the accounting policy teams in any leading investment bank." -Gabriel Pirlici, CFA, FCCA, Financial Accounting Manager, Group Accounting Policies & Standards, HSBC Holdings PLC "Juan Ramirez's Accounting for Derivatives book gives an in-depth analysis of the various hedging strategies and their accounting implications through clearly written, easy-to-follow and practical case studies. It gives detailed explanations on the mechanics of hedge accounting. I have found Juan's book incredibly useful in my role as a Policy Accountant and have no doubt many finance professionals will also find it resourceful." -Innocent Abai, Accounting Policy, BNP Paribas London "Unlike other accounting books more focused on the rules, Accounting for Derivatives tackles both the accounting guidelines and the risk management practices. The book's practical approach greatly benefits from the author's extensive experience in marketing and structuring hedging solutions to corporates and financial institutions." -Juan Solana Lanza, Financial Group, Banco Santander
