Why this is mistaken
When a qualifying forecast purchase creates a nonfinancial asset, the applicable hedge amount can become part of that asset's initial carrying amount. It is not automatically current earnings on the purchase date. The correction traces the designated forecast transaction to the actual purchase, shows the basis adjustment, and follows the asset into later expense. A canceled or changed forecast requires a separate probability and release analysis.
Where to watch
When this mistake may appear
- The inventory was purchased, so the AOCI balance is current income.
