"The uncertainty is partly down to companies having to document all the hedges they put in place if they want to qualify for hedge accounting under the new IAS 39 rules," said Kelvin Jouhar, head of FX and FX derivatives at HBOS in London.

This could result in increased earnings volatility, which may be a concern to a company treasurer."
