Example of a change of functional currency due a change in circumstance i.e. adjusted prospectively

1) Change in functional currency      
The company changed functional currency from Sterling (“£”) to United States Dollar (“US$”) on 31 December 2014. This change arose as a result of the acquisition of the company by a larger group. As a result a change was made to the cost and funding structure such that the primary economic environment in which the company operates resulted in a change in functional currency to US$.  
       
The 2014 results and financial position for comparative purposes were retranslated to US$ as follows:
               

– Assets and liabilities at the closing rate of 1.6184 as at 31 December 2014

   
               

– Income and expenses for 2014 are retranslated at the 2014 average rate of 1.6259

   
               

– All resulting exchange differences were recognised as a separate component of equity, described as the exchange rate reserve.

1  Prior year adjustment due to a change in functional currency    
                   
Historically, financial statements for the company were prepared on the basis that the £ sterling was the functional currency of the entity. During the current year the directors considered further the functional currency and have determined that the euro is, and always was, the functional currency that most accurately portrays the economic results of the company and thereby achieves the objective of foreign currency translation. As a result, the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 are prepared in euro and the comparative numbers restated.
                   
The 2014 results and financial position for comparative purposes were restated to euro as follows:
                   
-Assets and liabilities which were denominated in euro are shown at the actual euro balance at 31 December 2014 and non euro denominated balances were retranslated at the year end spot rate
                   
-Income and expenses for 2014 are shown at the actual euro amounts that were incurred and any non euro balances were retranslated at the average rate for the year.
                   
-All resulting differences were recognised in profit and loss reserves brought forward.
