Summary Excerpt Details

The introduction of IFRS 9 has brought significant changes to hedge accounting practices in European banks, addressing limitations in the former IAS 39 standard. With three phases—classification, impairment, and hedging—IFRS 9 aims to better align financial reporting with risk management practices, particularly in hedge accounting. Despite the option to continue using IAS 39 for hedging, many banks have adopted IFRS 9 since its implementation in 2018. This study explores the development of hedge accounting since this transition, analyzing factors such as capital ratios and regional influences, and comparing the advantages of IFRS 9 to IAS 39. Through empirical analysis, it aims to assess the impact of the new standard on risk management and financial reporting in European banks.

Zielsetzung und Themenschwerpunkte (Objectives and Key Themes)

This master's thesis empirically investigates the development of hedge accounting in European banks since 2018, focusing on the transition from IAS 39 to IFRS 9. The study aims to analyze the types of hedges used, their volume, and the overall impact of this regulatory change. * Impact of IFRS 9 on hedge accounting practices in European banks. * Analysis of the volume and types of hedging activities before and after the IFRS 9 adoption. * Examination of the relationship between IFRS 9 adoption and bank-specific characteristics (size, country, auditor). * Assessment of the impact of IFRS 9 on key financial ratios, such as the CET1 ratio. * Exploration of the role of different types of derivatives (e.g., interest rate swaps, currency swaps) in hedge accounting.
