We’ll discuss recent trends in the interest rate environment, and the impact on interest-related valuations observed in the post-election era.  Hedgers of rates are now able to account for those strategies more efficiently through ASU 2017-12 – published 8/28/17 – which further aligns accounting results with risk management practices.  New concepts have been introduced to hedge accounting requirements, which are expected to allow more and more credit unions to apply hedge accounting to their risk management strategies. 

Even though the new standards don’t take effect until 2020, early adoption is highly encouraged.    

Join us to: 

• Understand the current interest rate environment and how valuations are impacted.  
• Understand the impact of new hedge accounting rules and how companies can benefit.
• Learn why early adoption of the new accounting rules is beneficial to your organization.
