ISDA’s Response to the IASB on General Presentation and Disclosures

On September 15, ISDA responded to the International Accounting Standards Board’s consultation on General Presentation and Disclosures – Exposure Draft: ED/2019/7. Although members are supportive of the proposals for reporting derivatives in the operating category, they are concerned it may lead to the creation of another hedge-accounting-type framework alongside the existing hedge accounting requirements, adding to the complexity and cost of financial reporting, which could be more challenging for corporate entities.
