Objective
10 The objective of PAS 21 is to prescribe how to include foreign currency
transactions and foreign operations in the financial statements of an
entity and how to translate financial statements into a presentation
currency. The principal issues are which exchange rate(s) to use and
how to report the effects of changes in exchange rates in the financial
15 statements.
Key definitions
Special rules apply for translating the results and financial position of
an entity whose functional currency is the currency of a
hyperinflationary economy into a different presentation currency.
10
Where the foreign entity reports in the currency of a hyperinflationary
economy, the financial statements of the foreign entity should be
restated as required by PAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary
Economies, before translation into the reporting currency.
15
The requirements of PAS 21 regarding transactions and translation of
financial statements should be strictly applied in the changeover of the
national currencies of participating Member States of the European
Union to the Euro monetary assets and liabilities should continue to
20 be translated the closing rate, cumulative exchange differences should
remain in equity and exchange differences resulting from the
translation of liabilities denominated in participating currencies should
not be included in the carrying amount of related assets.
Convenience translations
Sometimes, an entity displays its financial statements or other
financial information in a currency that is different from either its
35 functional currency or its presentation currency simply by translating
all amounts at end-of-period exchange rates. This is sometimes called
a convenience translation. A result of making a convenience
translation is that the resulting financial information does not comply
with all IFRS, particularly PAS 21. In this case, the following disclosures
40 are required: [PAS 21.57]
