Real estate companies hedging FX differences from loans

Real estate companies traditionally use hedge accounting for foreign currency loans to balance the impact of foreign currency loan revaluations on their income statement. As advisors and auditors, we are familiar with the many ways how companies tackle hedge accounting. Sometimes, they proceed correctly; other times, they fail to comply with IFRS requirements on documentation and testing.
