Overview of GASB Statement 53

Statement issued in June 2008

Effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2009

Will require derivative instruments to be reported at fair value in
financial statements prepared under the economic resources
measurement focus

Reporting changes in fair value will depend on whether derivative
instrument is an effective hedge

GASB has also issued a plain-language document on derivative
instruments

Overview of GASB Statement 53

Certain aspects of GASB Statement 53 are conceptually similar to
FASB Statement 133, as amended:
–
Definition of a derivative instrument
–
Certain scope exceptions
–
Hedge accounting
Although conceptually similar, there are many differences in
application:
–
–
Hedge accounting required under GASB 53 if applicable
“All or nothing” approach to reporting changes in fair value using
hedge accounting

–
Use of deferred inflows and outflows

–
May 2010
Not required to quantify ineffectiveness

A derivative instrument is a financial instrument or contract that
has all of the following:
–
–
Settlement factors

One or more reference rates (underlyings)

One or more notional amounts or payment provisions or both
Leverage

–
Net settlement




May 2010
Requires little or no net investment yet responds to market changes
Contract terms require or permit net settlement
Can be readily settled net outside the contract through a market
mechanism; or
Provides for delivery of an asset that is readily convertible to cash or is
itself a derivative instrument

Settlement Factors


Reference Rates
–
Reference rate can be any variable with changes that are
observable or otherwise objectively verifiable (cannot be the
asset or liability itself)
–
Value of a derivative instrument generally changes by direct
reference to changes in the reference rate
Notional Amount
–
The number of units specified in a derivative contract (e.g.
currency, shares, etc):
–
Amount applied to change in reference rate to determine
settlement
Payment Provisions
–
Fixed or determinable payment made if an underlying changes in
a specified manner (e.g. payment if commodity price increases
10%)
–
Often included in lieu of a notional amount


No initial net investment or smaller initial investment than
required for other types of contracts having a similar response
to changes in market factors

Evaluated from perspective of one party to contract but
determines the accounting for both parties

Commodity example:
May 2010
–
To buy 10,000 gallons of diesel fuel today at $3 gallon, must pay
$30,000
–
No money required to enter into forward contract for 10,000
gallons of oil at future date at forward spot price
–
Fair value of both the purchased diesel fuel and forward contract
change similarly with changes in market price of diesel fuel

Net settlement characteristic has been met if neither party to the
contract is required to deliver an asset that:
–
is associated with the underlying, and
–
has a principal amount, stated amount, face value, number of
shares, or other determination that is equal to the notional amount
in the contract
Generally contracts with only a payment provision will meet net
settlement under contractual terms

A market mechanism that facilitates net settlement must
have ALL of the following characteristics:
–
Enables one party to the contract to readily liquidate its net
position
–
Results in one party to the contract becoming fully relieved of
its rights and obligations under the contract
–
Liquidation of net position:


Puts the recipient in a position not substantially different from net
settlement through the contract

Key characteristics:
–
Interchangeable (fungible) units
–
Quoted prices available in an active market
–
Market can rapidly absorb the quantity held by the entity without
significantly affecting the quoted price
–
Significance of transaction costs

Derivative instruments are often free-standing instruments:
–
Swaps
–
Forward contracts
Other times, derivative instruments may accompany or be
embedded within a companion instrument:
May 2010
–
Combined instrument referred to as a hybrid instrument
–
Important to identify because derivative instrument may require
separate reporting from the companion instrument

Companion instrument is not measured at fair value
A separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded
component would meet definition of a derivative instrument; and
Economic characteristics and risks of the derivative instrument
are not closely related to those of the companion instrument

Generally, all derivative instruments within the scope of GASB 53
should be reported on the statement of net assets at fair value
–

Exception for certain synthetic guaranteed investment contracts
Reporting the changes in fair value depends on the classification of the
derivative instrument:
1. Hedging derivative instrument (HDI) → Apply hedge accounting


Entire fair value change is deferred on the statement of net assets
(deferred inflow and outflow accounts)
Continue to apply hedge accounting until a termination event occurs
2. Investment derivative instrument → Apply investment
accounting


May 2010
All derivative instruments not considered HDIs are investment
derivative instruments
Fair value change is reported on the change statement in the period it
occurs (investment revenue classification)

Report deferred inflow (credit) offsetting the asset
For HDIs that have negative fair values:

Report HDI as a liability
–
Report deferred outflow (debit) offsetting the liability
Unlike under FASB 133, entire amount of the HDI is offset
by the deferred inflow or outflow:

Hedging is a method governments employ to reduce identified
financial risks:
–
Increases in interest costs
–
Increases in commodity prices
–
Losses due to counterparty default
–
Fair value declines due to changes in market interest rates
Governments use derivative instruments as a mechanism to
hedge identified financial risks

A Hedging Derivative Instrument (HDI) is established, and
hedge accounting MUST be applied if there is:
–
Association: Derivative instrument is associated with a
hedgeable item
AND
–
Substantial Offset: Derivative instrument is effective in
substantially offsetting changes in cash flows or fair value of the
hedgeable item resulting from the identified financial risk hedge
effectiveness

Hedge accounting is NOT an option

Contemporaneous documentation of the hedge is encouraged,

Notional amount of derivative instrument is consistent with
principal/quantity of hedgeable item
–
Derivative instrument will be reported in the same fund as the
hedgeable item
–
Term or time period of derivative instrument is consistent with that

Derivative instrument that is associated with a hedgeable item,
but has yet to be determined effective is referred to in GASB 53


An entire bond issuance

$60 million of a $100 million bond issuance may be hedgeable item
Groups of similar assets and liabilities

–

Individual assets or liabilities in the group must be exposed to the same identified
financial risk being hedged
An expected transaction

Expected bond issuance

Expected commodity purchase/sale
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value cannot be hedgeable items
–
Fair value of hedgeable item reported in change statement so no need for
hedge accounting

Transactions within primary government cannot be hedgeable items

Transactions between primary government and discretely presented
component units can be hedgeable items

What Can Be Hedgeable Items?
Year-End GAAP Training
45

For an expected transaction to be a hedgeable item, it should be
probable of occurring

Probability should be supported by observable facts, including:
–
The frequency, volume and amount of past transactions
–
The financial, operational, and legal ability of the government to
carry out the transaction
–
–

The extent of loss or disruption to a government’s activities that
could result if the transaction does not occur
The government’s budget or other planning documents
If the hedgeable item is an expected transaction, the evaluation
of effectiveness should consider the probable terms of the
transaction


Hedge effectiveness testing should be performed for each
PHDI:
–
At the end of the reporting period of the inception of the hedge;
and
–
At the end of each subsequent reporting period for as long as the
hedge is effective

End of reporting period applies to interim periods if financial
statements are prepared on a GAAP basis

Hedge effectiveness testing is not required at the inception of
the hedge

Different testing methods may be used across the population of
PHDIs

Hedge Effectiveness Testing Methods
Year-End GAAP Training
50
The methods for testing hedge effectiveness should be applied as
follows:
First Reporting Period

If use CCT first and it fails  MUST use at least one
quantitative method before concluding the relationship is
ineffective

If use quantitative method first and it fails  MAY, but not
required to use other methods before concluding the
relationship is ineffective
Subsequent Reporting Periods

May 2010
First use method applied in previous period  if fails, MAY,
but not required to use other methods before concluding the
relationship is ineffective


New market conditions are caused by events that significantly
change the historical relationship between the derivative and
the hedgeable item

Examples of new market conditions:
–
Changes in income tax rates that affect the demand for taxexempt debt
–
Natural disaster that upsets the supply of a commodity
 If new market conditions occur, only hedge effectiveness
methods that use forward-looking data should be used:
May 2010
–
Dollar-offset method (change in fair values or expected cash
flows)
–
In some instances, regression analysis that uses fair values

GASB 53 allows for use of other quantitative methods
 To be used, method should:

–
–
–
Demonstrate through analysis of quantitative critical terms that
hedged changes in cash flows or fair values of PHDI offset those
of hedgeable item
Generate replicable, consistent evaluations of effectiveness such
that different evaluators would achieve similar results
Incorporate consideration of substantive characteristics
of PHDI and hedgeable item that could affect cash flows or fair
values
If used, details of method should be disclosed
 To date, GASB has not specifically identified any other
quantitative methods


GASB 53 identifies 6 events that result in termination of hedge
accounting:
a.
HDI is no longer effective
b.
Likelihood that a hedged expected transaction will occur is no
longer probable
c.
Hedged asset or liability is sold or retired, but not refunded or
defeased
d.
HDI is terminated
e.
Hedged debt is refunded or defeased
f.
Hedged expected transaction occurs

Key decision to be made when hedge accounting is
terminated is how to dispose of the related deferred inflow or
outflow

Disposition depends on the event resulting in the termination
of hedge accounting

The pay-fixed interest rate swap listed as an investment derivative under governmental activities was evaluated to be an
ineffective hedge for accounting and financial reporting purposes during fiscal year 2008. Accordingly, the changes in fair value
of the swap that had been deferred through June 30, 2007 of $(1,409) along with the change in fair value of the swap in fiscal
year 2008 of $132 have been recorded as investment income for the year ended June 30, 2008.
