Description :

In today’s modern economy, the growth of foreign operations is continuing upward and the number of companies with foreign operations has expanded. For example, a company often operates in different economic and currency environments to stay competitive in the global marketplace. Thus, it must have a process for reporting foreign currency balances to address several financial reporting issues, such as determining functional currencies, accounting for foreign currency transactions, and translating its foreign entity’s financial statements. ASC 830 Foreign Currency Matters provides guidance for transactions denominated in a foreign currency, and for operations undertaken in a foreign currency environment. Accounting for Foreign Currency is an accounting CPE class you can take online that covers key aspects of the guidance and includes specific examples to illustrate its application. Relevant references to and excerpts from ASC 830 are discussed throughout the course.
