Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When market risks threaten your bottom line
IFRS Nine shows the way to align
Your hedging strategy with accounting rules
Three relationships are your primary tools
Fair value hedges when assets fluctuate
Cash flow hedges for future cash you anticipate
Net investment when foreign subs are at stake
Choose your weapon for the risk you'll break

[Chorus]
Fair Cash Net, remember the set
Effectiveness testing, don't you forget
Eighty to one twenty five, the range to survive
Document your strategy to keep hedge alive
Fair Cash Net, the trio you bet
Qualify, measure, then don't regret
Mark to market or defer the gain
Hedge accounting eases the pain

[Verse 2]
Fair value hedges tackle existing exposure
Interest rate swaps bring rate composure
When your fixed rate bond meets floating rate derivative
Mark both to market, let gains be comparative
The hedge item and the hedging tool
Move together by the effectiveness rule
P and L impact gets neutralized
When your hedging relationship's optimized

[Chorus]
Fair Cash Net, remember the set
Effectiveness testing, don't you forget
Eighty to one twenty five, the range to survive
Document your strategy to keep hedge alive
Fair Cash Net, the trio you bet
Qualify, measure, then don't regret
Mark to market or defer the gain
Hedge accounting eases the pain

[Verse 3]
Cash flow hedges smooth future volatility
Forecast transactions need probability
Send derivative gains to OCI first
Until the hedged transaction is dispersed
When the forecast sale finally comes to pass
Move those deferred gains from equity class
Reclassify to match the underlying
Perfect timing, no more underlying

[Bridge]
Prospective testing looks ahead
Retrospective confirms what's been said
If effectiveness falls outside the band
Discontinue hedging, take your stand
Document at inception, that's the key
Risk management strategy for all to see

[Chorus]
Fair Cash Net, remember the set
Effectiveness testing, don't you forget
Eighty to one twenty five, the range to survive
Document your strategy to keep hedge alive
Fair Cash Net, the trio you bet
Qualify, measure, then don't regret
Mark to market or defer the gain
Hedge accounting eases the pain

[Outro]
Net investment in foreign operations
Currency hedges across all nations
Translate gains through OCI flow
