On May 26, 2010, FASB published an exposure draft of proposed Accounting Standards Update (ASU) aimed at providing a new, comprehensive standard on financial instruments accounting. The exposure draft includes guidance on hedge accounting as well as the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities.
