''Financial reporting''.


In the UK, the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) defines a designated investment firm as one which:
Net investment hedge accounting applies to hedges of foreign currency risk on net investments in foreign operations.
*Has, or has applied for, permission to deal in investments as principal; and
*Meets minimum amount capital requirements; and
*Qualifies under the PRA’s designation criteria.




The term 'designated investment firm' is sometimes used interchangeably with 'broker-dealer'.
It is accounted for in a similar way to cash flow hedge accounting.


It is achieved by deferring in other comprehensive income (OCI), changes in value of the hedging instrument, with amounts later removed or reclassified and ultimately recognised in profit or loss at the same time as the hedged net investment.

Financial reporting.

Net investment hedge accounting applies to hedges of foreign currency risk on net investments in foreign operations.


It is accounted for in a similar way to cash flow hedge accounting.

It is achieved by deferring in other comprehensive income (OCI), changes in value of the hedging instrument, with amounts later removed or reclassified and ultimately recognised in profit or loss at the same time as the hedged net investment.
