Hedge accounting in practice

Hedge accounting can be adopted for any items for which cash

e.g. cash flow hedging to cover probable foreign currency sales
over the next few years.

Hedge accounting enables an entity to offset gains/losses on
derivatives against losses/gains on another financial asset or
liability.
