Question 231

Due to price risk from the foreign currency purchase of aviation fuel, an airliner has purchased forward contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the exchange rate. When recalculating the exchange losses from individual purchases of jet fuel, which of the following details does the internal auditor need to validate?

1. The hedge documentation designating the hedge.

2. The spot exchange rate on the transaction date.

3. The terms of the forward contract.

4. The amount of fuel purchased.

    Correct Answer: A

    The internal auditor needs to validate the hedge documentation designating the hedge to ensure that the hedge is properly documented and legitimate. Additionally, the spot exchange rate on the transaction date is critical for recalculating exchange losses, as it represents the actual rate at which the foreign currency purchase would have been made. These details are essential for accurately assessing the financial impact of the hedge.
