The gain or loss on a derivative instrument or non-derivative financial instrument designated and qualified as a foreign currency hedging instrument must be accounted for as follows:
a. the gain or loss on the hedging derivative or non-derivative instrument in a hedge of a foreign-currency-denominated firm commitment and the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged firm commitment must be recognised in earnings in the current and same accounting period;
b. the gain or loss on the hedging derivative instrument in a hedge of an available-for-sale security and the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged available-for-sale security must be recognised currently in earnings in the same accounting period;
c. the effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging derivative instrument in a hedge of a forecast foreign-currency-denominated transaction must reported as a component of equity and recognised only as earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecast transaction affects earnings. The remaining gain or loss on the hedging instrument must recognised currently in earnings;
d. the gain or loss on the hedging derivative or non derivative instrument in a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation must be reported as part of the cumulative translation adjustment to the extent it is effective as a hedge.
