3.50 CPE Hours (Category 1)
Classroom

Programme Objective

Companies need to identify their functional currency appropriately to achieve the objectives of FRS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates. If the functional currency is incorrectly determined, the translation gains and losses will not reflect the effects of an entity’s transaction exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations. This workshop explains the concept of the functional currency and the principles in FRS 21. It considers the determinants of the functional currency with reference to an entity’s economic environment and product and process markets. The workshop also explains the translation objectives and processes in FRS 21.
