30.8.2.2 Accounting policies

Example 14 – Extract from notes to the accounting policies

Currency

(a)  Functional and presentation currency.

Items included in the financial statements of the company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates (“the functional currency”). The financial statements are presented in stg/euro, which is the company’s functional and presentation currency and is denoted by the symbol “CU”.

OR

The company has chosen to present the financial statement in a currency that differs from its functional currency so that it can be easily consolidated into the parent company’s financial statements. The company’s functional currency is XX.

(b)  Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate.  Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the profit and loss account within ‘finance (expense)/income’. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the profit and loss account within ‘Other operating (losses)/gains’.

(c)  Group

Each entity in the group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. The assets and liabilities of overseas subsidiary undertakings are retranslated into the presentational currency at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at the exchange rate at the dates of the transactions. All resulting exchange differences are reflected in other comprehensive income.

Change in functional Currency The company changed functional currency from FC (“FC”) to United States Dollar (“USFC”) 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 USFC. The 2014 results and financial position for comparative purposes were translated to USFC as follows:

30.8.2.3.3 Example of a Prior year adjustment due to a change in functional currency

Example 16: Example of a Prior year adjustment due to a change in functional currency

Historically, financial statements for the company were prepared on the bass that the FC was the functional currency of the entity. During the current year the directors considered further the functional currency and have determined that the CU 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 CU and the comparative numbers restated. The 2014 results and financial position for comparative purposes were restated to CU as follows:

– Assets and liabilities which were denominated in CU are shown at the actual CU balance at 31

December 2014 and non CU denominated balances were retranslated at the year end spot rate

– Income and expenses for 2014 are shown at the actual CU amounts that were incurred and any non CU balances were retranslated at the average rate for the year.

– All resulting differences were recognised in profit and loss reserves brought forward.
