3 Chance/BrooksAn Introduction to Derivatives and Risk Management, 9th ed.Ch. 16: 3 The Structure of the Risk Management Industry n End Users u Firms that engage in derivatives transactions to manage their risk. u Mostly non-financial corporations, but also pension funds, mutual funds, U.S. state and local governments, foreign governments, endowments, and other private organizations. u In corporations the treasury department is usually responsible for derivatives transactions. © 2010 Cengage Learning.

4 Chance/BrooksAn Introduction to Derivatives and Risk Management, 9th ed.Ch. 16: 4 The Structure of the Risk Management Industry (continued) n Dealers u Financial institutions that make a market in derivatives. They stand willing to take either side of a derivatives transaction. u They typically hedge their risk and earn a profit off of the difference between their buying and selling prices. © 2010 Cengage Learning.

6 Chance/BrooksAn Introduction to Derivatives and Risk Management, 9th ed.Ch. 16: 6 Organizing the Risk Management Function in a Company n Good risk management requires a sound organization structure that begins with responsibility at the top. n Dealers usually have an independent risk manager who reports to the CEO, has access to relevant information, and authority to block or initiate certain transactions. n Corporate risk management should also be centralized but is often decentralized. n Many corporations run the treasury as a profit center, which is not conducive to sound risk management. © 2010 Cengage Learning.

7 Chance/BrooksAn Introduction to Derivatives and Risk Management, 9th ed.Ch. 16: 7 Organizing the Risk Management Function in a Company (continued) n Separation of front office from back office. n Legal counsel, accounting, and auditing are critical, but accounting and auditing do not substitute for risk management. n Risk management is a continuous process requiring regular evaluation and comparison to objectives. n See Figures 16.1 and 16.2 for examples of typical dealer and corporate end user organization charts. Figures 16.116.2Figures 16.116.2 n Under enterprise risk management, the management of all risks is under a single area of responsibility. © 2010 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

8 Chance/BrooksAn Introduction to Derivatives and Risk Management, 9th ed.Ch. 16: 8 Risk Management Accounting n The concept of hedge accounting: accounting in which gains and losses on derivatives are tied to gains and losses on hedged instruments. n In the U. S., the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has prescribed the appropriate methods of accounting for derivatives with FAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. Global standards are prescribed by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) with their IAS 39. n In general, derivatives are marked to market and must appear on financial statements © 2010 Cengage Learning.

9 Chance/BrooksAn Introduction to Derivatives and Risk Management, 9th ed.Ch. 16: 9 Risk Management Accounting (continued) n Fair Value Hedges: The firm is hedging the market value of an asset or liability. The gain/loss on the derivative as well as the instrument being hedged is recorded and reflected in current earnings. u Example: Firm holds security and hedges with a derivative. Before the end of the hedge, the security loses $100,000 in value and the derivative gains $96,000. It does the following entries: © 2010 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

Income decreases by $4,000. Assets decrease by $4,000. u These hedges must be properly justified, and carefully documented to be eligible for accounting this way. © 2010 Cengage Learning.

11 Chance/BrooksAn Introduction to Derivatives and Risk Management, 9th ed.Ch. 16: 11 Risk Management Accounting (continued) n Cash Flow Hedges: The firm is hedging the risk of a future cash flow. The derivative is marked to market and shows on the balance sheet but the gain/loss shows up in a temporary account, Other Comprehensive Income (OCI), which is an equity account. At the end of the hedge, OCI is closed out, and any balance adjusts the amount recorded to the cash flow being hedged. Also gains/losses must be separated into “effective” and “ineffective” components. © 2010 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

12 Chance/BrooksAn Introduction to Derivatives and Risk Management, 9th ed.Ch. 16: 12 Risk Management Accounting (continued) n Cash Flow Hedges (continued) u Example: A firm plans to borrow $1 million in six months by issuing a discount note. It buys an FRA to hedge. Rates go down and it incurs a loss on the FRA of $10,000. Eventually the FRA expires with a loss of $12,000 and the note is issued at 7%, generating a cash inflow of (1 -.07)$1,000,000 = $930,000. During the interim, it enters the following: F Debit OCI10,000 F Credit FRA10,000 © 2010 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

13 Chance/BrooksAn Introduction to Derivatives and Risk Management, 9th ed.Ch. 16: 13 Risk Management Accounting (continued) n Cash Flow Hedges (continued) u When it takes out the loan, it enters the following: F Debit Cash930,000 F Credit Notes Payable930,000 F Debit FRA 10,000 F Debit OCI 2,000 F Credit Cash 12,000 © 2010 Cengage Learning.

14 Chance/BrooksAn Introduction to Derivatives and Risk Management, 9th ed.Ch. 16: 14 Risk Management Accounting (continued) n Cash Flow Hedges (continued) F Debit Notes Payable12,000 F Credit OCI12,000 u Thus, it received $930,000 in cash and set up a liability of $930,000. It removed the FRA from the books and recorded a $2,000 further loss in OCI. It paid out $12,000 to cover the FRA loss and zeroed out OCI. It reduced the note balance to $918,000, reflecting the net amount of cash it received. © 2010 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

15 Chance/BrooksAn Introduction to Derivatives and Risk Management, 9th ed.Ch. 16: 15 Risk Management Accounting (continued) n Cash Flow Hedges (continued) u This was a perfect hedge. Suppose in the interim period the loss was $11,000 but the effective part was $10,000. Thus, the gain/loss on the derivative does not perfectly match the gain/loss on the hedged instrument. It would do the following: F Debit Current Income 1,000 F Debit OCI10,000 F Credit FRA11,000 © 2010 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

16 Chance/BrooksAn Introduction to Derivatives and Risk Management, 9th ed.Ch. 16: 16 Risk Management Accounting (continued) n Cash Flow Hedges (continued) u At expiration let the loss on the FRA be $15,000, of which only $12,000 is effective. Then we F Debit FRA11,000 F Credit OCI11,000 F Debit Current Income 2,000 F Debit OCI 1,000 F Debit Notes Payable12,000 F Credit Cash15,000 © 2010 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

17 Chance/BrooksAn Introduction to Derivatives and Risk Management, 9th ed.Ch. 16: 17 Risk Management Accounting (continued) n Cash Flow Hedges (continued) u We remove the FRA from liabilities and all but $1,000 from OCI. We zero out OCI and reduce Current Income by $2,000. Notes payable goes from $930,000 to $918,000 (the Notes Payable entry above is the same), reflecting a loss of $12,000. Of the $12,000 loss, the ineffective part is $2,000, which goes into Current Income and combines with the $1,000 loss already in Current Income. u There is still some uncertainty about how firms are to identify effective and ineffective parts of hedges. © 2010 Cengage Learning.

18 Chance/BrooksAn Introduction to Derivatives and Risk Management, 9th ed.Ch. 16: 18 Risk Management Accounting (continued) n Foreign Investment Hedges: Procedures for these had been in effect for a number of years. Certain transactions qualify for Fair Value and Cash Flow hedge accounting. n Speculation: Gains/losses are marked to market and recorded in current income. © 2010 Cengage Learning.

19 Chance/BrooksAn Introduction to Derivatives and Risk Management, 9th ed.Ch. 16: 19 Risk Management Accounting (continued) n Some Problems in the Application of FAS 133 u No clear prescription for what constitutes effective/ineffective hedging. u Embedded derivatives must be separated. u No hedge accounting for bonds held to maturity. u Difficulty of arriving at derivatives’ values. u Does not permit macro (firm-wide) hedges. © 2010 Cengage Learning.

25 Chance/BrooksAn Introduction to Derivatives and Risk Management, 9th ed.Ch. 16: 25 A senior derivatives trader, interviewed recently by Risk, was asked how he thought the derivatives market would develop over the next five years. His response was a spin on an old joke - each desk will comprise a sophisticated trading model, a trader, and a dog. The model will make all the trading decisions; the trader acts as a back-up in case the model crashes; and the dog is trained to bite the trader if he or she tries to touch the model in any other circumstance.
