Dutch GAAP financial instruments

As of 1 January 2008, the new standard RJ 290 on accounting for financial instruments became effective. This standard introduces a number of concepts from IAS 39 and IAS 32 into the Dutch environment. This entails strict rules for the application of hedge accounting, the fair value concept as an important accounting principle for financial instruments accounting, the difference between debt and equity that is no longer based on legal form of an instrument, embedded derivatives and others.

A 1/2-day program of the course can look as follows:

• Introduction
• Definitions and scope
• Amortised cost and fair value
• Derivatives and commodities (‘own use’)
• Hedge accounting models
• Debt versus equity
• Some examples (with journal entries)
