Q

Expressing in the reporting currency amounts denominated or measured in different currencies.

A

Foreign currency translation.

The method used to convert foreign currency amounts into units of the reporting currency is the functional currency translation approach. It is appropriate for use in accounting for and reporting the financial results and relationships of foreign subsidiaries in consolidated statements. This method (a) identifies the functional currency of the entity (the currency of the primary economic environment in which the foreign entity operates), (b) measures all elements of the statements in the functional currency, and (c) uses a current exchange rate for translation from the functional currency to the reporting currency.

Q

Used for remeasurement.

A

Temporal method.

If the books of a foreign entity are maintained in a currency not the functional currency, foreign currency amounts must be remeasured into the functional currency using the temporal method. They are then translated into the reporting currency using the current-rate method. Nonmonetary balance sheet items and related revenue, expense, gain, and loss amounts are remeasured at the historical rate. Monetary items are remeasured at the current rate.

Q

The currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates.

A

Functional currency.

The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Normally, that environment is the one in which it primarily generates and expends cash. For example, the functional currency of a foreign subsidiary is more likely to be the parent’s currency if its cash flows directly and currently affect the parent’s cash flows.

Q

The rate used for foreign currency translation.

A

Current exchange rate. Assets and liabilities are translated at the current exchange rate at fiscal year end. Revenues, expenses, gains, and losses are translated at the rates in effect when they were recognized. However, a weighted-average rate for the period may be used for these items.
