Appendix J Accounting for Financial Instruments

This appendix is nonauthoritative and is included for informational purposes only.

Overall Project Objective

The objective of FASB’s Accounting for Financial Instruments project is to significantly improve the decision usefulness of financial instrument reporting for users of financial statements. The project was initiated to reconsider recognition and measurement of financial instruments, address issues related to impairment of financial instruments and hedge accounting, and increase convergence in accounting for financial instruments. In replacing existing financial instruments standards, an expected outcome is the simplification of accounting requirements for financial instruments. The project was split into three phases: classification and measurement, impairment, and hedge accounting. This appendix focuses on the latest developments in each of these phases.

Amendments in the ASU are intended to improve certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments.
