30.7 Translation of a foreign operation into the investor’s presentation currency
30.7.1 Extract from FRS102: Section 30.22-30.23

30.22  In incorporating the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a foreign operation with those of the reporting entity, the entity shall follow normal consolidation procedures, such as the elimination of intragroup balances and intragroup transactions of a subsidiary (see Section 9 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements) and the translation procedures set out in paragraphs 30.17 to 30.21. An intragroup monetary asset (or liability), whether short-term or long-term, cannot be eliminated against the corresponding intragroup liability (or asset) without showing the results of currency fluctuations in the consolidated financial statements. This is because the monetary item represents a commitment to convert one currency into another and exposes the reporting entity to a gain or loss through currency fluctuations. Accordingly, in the consolidated financial statements, a reporting entity continues to recognise such an exchange difference in profit or loss or, if it arises from the circumstances described in paragraph 30.13, the entity shall recognise it in other comprehensive income.

30.23  Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition of that foreign operation shall be treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation. Thus, they shall be expressed in the functional currency of the foreign operation and shall be translated at the closing rate in accordance with paragraph 30.18.

30.7.2 OmniPro comment
30.7.2.1 The Rules

As per Section 30.22 of FRS 102, the retranslation of the functional currency of a foreign operation into a presentational currency for consolidated financial statement purposes should follow the guidance in Section 30.17 to 30.21 of FRS 102. See 30.6.2 for application of the above guidance. Any foreign exchange intercompany transactions are recogmised in the consolidated income statement unless they relate to the retranslation of a balance which meets the requirements of a net investment in a foreign operation (see requirements at 30.4.2)

The presentation currency here is likely to be the functional currency of the parent but may not always be the case. Retranslation adjustments of the foreign operation are posted to other comprehensive income (OCI).

30.7.2.1.1 Treatment of amount recognised in OCI on future disposal

On disposal of a foreign operation, the amounts recognised remains in OCI, they are not recycled to the profit and loss account.

30.7.2.2 Goodwill recognized on acquisition of a foreign operation

As per Section 30.23 of FRS 102 goodwill on the acquisition of a foreign operation and any changes to the fair value adjustments to the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities of the foreign operation must be treated as a foreign asset for consolidated financial statement purposes and therefore the carrying amount must be retranslated at the closing exchange rate at the period end date of the parent company. See example of same at 30.7.2.3

30.7.2.3 Examples

See the example below which illustrates the guidance in Sections 30.22 and 30.23 of FRS 102


Example 13: Consolidation of a foreign operations results

If we take example 12 above where we retranslated the subsidiaries FC functional accounts to a presentation currency of CU and now incorporate this into the consolidated financial statements of Company A. In accordance with Section 30.23 any goodwill arising on acquisition of Company B is treated as the assets and liabilities of the foreign operation. Therefore applying this to the example 12 where goodwill of FC50,000 was recognised. In the consolidated financial statements of Company A, this goodwill would have been recognised on 1 January 2014 at the rate on the date i.e. CU40,000 (FC50,000*0.8). The total consideration paid in CU was CU160,000 (FC200,000*0.8)

If we assume the parent company’s balance sheet is simple and only holds an investment in Company B with no costs or income. Then the parent entity balance sheet would look as follows:

Financial assets                                                                                         CU160,000

Ordinary shares                                                                                         CU160,000

In the consolidated financial statements goodwill would have to be restated as follows (excluding amortisation)

Goodwill of FC50,000 retranslated at opening rate of CU1=USFC0.80 =  CU40,000

Goodwill of FC50,000 retranslated at closing rate of CU1=USFC0.85 =   CU42,500

Exchange gain to be added to goodwill & included in OCI                         CU2,500

Plus exchange difference posted on retranslation of Company B’s

financials statements from USD to CU (see example 12 above)               CU15,000

Total exchange gain difference posted to OCI in consolidated                  CU17,500
