Study Notes

Translation Procedures

An entity shall translate its results and financial position to the presentation currency using the following procedures:

Assets and Liabilities

Translate assets and liabilities using the closing rate at the date of the statement of financial position.

Income and Expenses

Translate income and expenses, including other comprehensive income, using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
For practical reasons, an entity may use the average rates for a period if it will provide a reasonable approximation of the spot rates when the transactions took place.

Exchange Difference

The resulting exchange difference is recognized in other comprehensive income.
If exchange rates fluctuate significantly, the use of the average rates is inappropriate.

Cumulative Preference Shares

When an investee has cumulative preference shares, the investor shall compute its share after adjusting for preference dividends regardless of when declared or not.
The investor’s share in the investee’s losses shall be only up to its interest in the associate or joint venture.

Investments

Those investments in an associate or joint venture classified as held for sale shall follow the PFRS 5 (Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operation).
If the classified as held for sale is only a portion, an entity shall account for the remaining using the equity method.

Discontinuation of Equity Method

An entity shall discontinue the equity method when it loses significant influence or joint control over its investee.
