IAS 21 establishes accounting standards for the translation of the financial statements of a foreign operation for use by a reporting enterprise (a Canadian investor).A foreign operation is viewed as either integrated or self-sustaining for translation purposes, depending on whether the functional currency of the foreign entity is the same as or different from the functional currency of the Canadian reporting entity.

IAS 21 defines functional currency as the currency of primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The primary economic environment is normally the one in which the entity primarily generates and expends cash.

There are many indicators for determining the functional currency for a foreign operation. When the indicators are mixed and the functional currency is not obvious, management uses its professional judgement to determine the functional currency.

To translate the foreign operations financial statement into presentation currency of investor, different exchange rates are used for different items under different methods of translation.

A list of relevant exchange rates at different dates is given below for translation purpose:

December 31,20x3

1 AUS = $CD 2.17

November 30,20x4

1AUS = $CD 2.21

December 31,20x4

1AUS =$CD 2.27

Average - 20x4

1AUS =$CD 2.20

November 30,20x5

1AUS =$CD 2.31

December 31, 20x5

1AUS= $CD 2.35

Average 20x5

1AUS = $CD 2.29

  1. The December 31, 20x4 inventories were purchased on average on November 30, 20x4 and the December 31, 20x5 inventories were purchased on average on November 30, 20x5.
