New Partnership: Hedge Accounting Made Easy with Kantox and Zanders

Jasper van Eijk

Zanders partners with Kantox on the latest in hedge accounting software to tackle the challenge of net income variability with full technical support and expert help.

The Challenge

The challenge is well known. Accounting conventions treat derivatives differently from commercial transactions. As a result, even when exposures are perfectly hedged, unrealised FX gains and losses on derivatives can create unwanted swings in net income. The fix is hedge accounting under IFRS and local GAAP—but designing policies, running effectiveness tests, documenting relationships, and producing audit-ready reports can stretch finance teams.

The Solution

Kantox Hedge Accounting Powered by Zanders automates this end to end. The software solution integrates out of the box with Kantox Dynamic Hedging, giving companies a true, end-to-end currency management automation setup that connects risk management and accounting seamlessly.

The benefits are immediate. Companies reduce operational cost and risk versus manual implementation, gain full technical and audit support, and remove net income variability stemming from unrealised FX gains and losses. Finance teams get consistent, audit-ready outputs while freeing resources to focus on higher-value activities.
