  Effectiveness Calculations
         
    • Prospective effectiveness is measured using regression analysis. Many regressions per hedge can be defined, each with different parameters.  
    • Ineffectiveness is computed using the dollar offset method. Calculations include adjustments for liquidity (spreads) and for shaping hedging instrument prices.
  
    • Theoretical prices for illiquid markets (e.g. power plants) are derived when needed by the ineffectiveness calculation.  
    • Monthly trade by trade comparison of ineffectiveness is available to quickly determine new sources of ineffectiveness.  
    • Historical effectiveness results are available.  
 
  Documentation
         
    • All hedge documentation required by FAS 133/IAS 39 is maintained.  
    • Effectiveness results as well as comprehensive detailed calculations are available in Excel. Auditor friendly results are available in PDF format.
  
 
  Accounting and Reporting
         
    • Post the effective portion of hedges to equity and the ineffective portion to earnings.  
    • Produces scheduled roll-outs for ineffectiveness and equity.

  Data Interfaces
         
    • Trades and prices can be uploaded from Energy Trading Risk Management system (ETRM).
