There are two distinct types of foreign currency transaction, conversion and translation.
Conversion
Conversion is the process of exchanging amounts of one foreign currency for another.
Translation
Translation is required at the end of an accounting period when a company still holds assets
or liabilities which were obtained or incurred in a foreign currency.
Functional currency
The currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates.
An entity considers the following factors in determining its functional currency:
(a) The currency:
(i) that mainly influences sales prices for goods and services
(ii) of the country whose competitive forces and regulations mainly determine the
sales prices of its goods and services.
(b) The currency that mainly influences labour, material and other costs of providing
goods or services (this will often be the currency in which such costs are denominated
and settled).
The following factors may also provide evidence of an entity's functional currency:
(a) The currency in which funds from financing activities are generated.
(b) The currency in which receipts from operating activities are usually retained.
IAS 21 is not prescriptive about which caption the exchange difference would be included in.
The following however is the generally accepted approach:
Trading transactions – other income/expense
Financing transactions – finance income/finance costs
1
Example
San Francisco Co entered into the following foreign currency transaction:
31.10.X8 Purchased goods from Mexico SA for 129,000 Mexican pesos
31.12.X8 Payables have not yet been paid
31.01.X9 San Francisco Co paid its payables.
The exchange rates are as follows:
Pesos to $1 31.10.X8 9.5 31.12.X8 10 31.01.X9 9.7
Required
How would this transaction be recorded in the books of San Francisco Co for the years ended
31 December 20X8 and 20X9?
Solution DR CR
31.10.X8 Purchases (129,000 @ 9.50) 13,579
Payables 13,579
An entity's functional currency reflects the underlying transactions, events and conditions
that are relevant to it. Accordingly, once determined, the functional currency is not
changed unless there is a change in those underlying transactions, events or conditions.
Where there is a change in the functional currency, translation procedures applicable to the
new functional currency are applied prospectively from the date of the change.
Presentation currency
The currency in which the financial statements are presented.
An entity may present its financial statements in any currency (or currencies).
Translation rules
The results and financial position of an entity whose functional currency is not the currency
of a hyperinflationary economy are translated into a different presentation currency as
follows:
(a) Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented (i.e. including comparatives)
⇒ translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet;
(b) Income and expenses for each income statement (i.e. including comparatives)
⇒ translated at actual exchange rates at the dates of the transactions (an average
rate for the period may be used if exchange rates do not fluctuate significantly);
(c) All resulting exchange differences
⇒ are recognised as a separate component of equity (the translation reserve).
Foreign operations
A foreign operation is an entity that is a subsidiary, associate, joint venture or branch of a
reporting entity, the activities of which are based or conducted in a country or currency
other than those of the reporting entity.
2
Translation method
The foreign operation determines its own functional currency and prepares its financial
statements in that currency.
Where different to the parent's functional currency, the financial statements need to be
translated before consolidation.
The financial statements are translated into the presentation currency (functional currency of
the reporting entity) using the presentation currency rules outlined above.
Any goodwill are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and are translated
at the closing rate.
In practical terms the following approach is used when translating the financial
statements of a foreign operation for exam purposes:
You may be required to calculate exchange differences recognised in the year or total
exchange differences recognised in the translation reserve. The exam approach to
calculating them is the same for both:
