IASB seeks comments on Draft Technical Correction
05 Oct 2005
The IASB has invited comments on Draft Technical Correction (DTC) 1 Proposed Amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates–Net Investment in a Foreign Operation.
Comments are due 31 October 2005. If confirmed, these amendments would be the first to be issued under the Board's proposed new IASB Proposed Policy on Technical Corrections. DTC 1 provides that if a monetary item that forms part of a reporting entity's net investment in a foreign operation is denominated in the functional currency of the foreign operation, an exchange difference arises in the reporting entity's separate financial statements and in the foreign operation's individual financial statements. That exchange difference is reclassified to the separate component of equity in the financial statements in which the foreign operation is consolidated, proportionately consolidated, or accounted for using the equity method. DTC 1 can be downloaded from the IASB's Website.
