Derivatives are financial instruments used by companies to manage risks arising from financial assets and liabilities included in its balance sheet or that will appear in future by operations already contracted. Risks mitigated by derivatives may be exposure to foreign exchange, interest rate, price of commodities or credit. Besides the protective function, the derivative can also be used for the purpose of speculation or arbitrage. Financial institutions operates in the derivatives market to protect the risk of their economic activities but also for intermediate risk of customers. In order to protect their assets and liabilities, financial institutions use, in large-scale, of the derivative financial instruments. The major challenge in the control of derivatives is their accounting. International standards already implemented in Brazil since 2008 as the CPC 14 and standards set by the Central Bank of Brazil require institutions to measure the derivatives at market price (fair value). The volumes traded, called notional amount, or better, the risk transferred or assumed, are controlled in off-balance sheet accounts. The variations in the price of derivatives are recorded in income statement accounts periodically, at least at the closing of its financial statements or monthly statements as in the case of financial institutions. In the case of hedging transactions, the rules currently in effect opens the possibility of variations of the market are registered in different accounts of result. This possibility is covered in the rule of hedge accounting. The rule of hedge accounting the financial institutions can account the variations in market value of hedging instruments (derivatives) in the same time they are recorded variations of the object market hedge (active or passive at risk). If a risk hedge cash flow changes in derivative financial instrument and are subject to hedge recorded accounts highlighted the equity and if the market risk, changes in market prices of the hedging instrument (derivative) and subject to hedge are recorded in income statement accounts. However, despite being technically still the best way to account for variations in market value of a hedge transaction for hedge accounting, as a case study developed, the use of this possibility requires the financial institution fulfill a number of requirements which are very complex to implementation. These requirements are, apparently, causing financial institutions not motivate themselves to apply the rule of hedge accounting, as analysis of the notes disclosed in the financial statements for 2007 and 2008 from 10 major private financial institutions
