The International Accounting Standards Board has issues IFRS 18 - the new standard on presentation and disclosure in financial statements with a focus on Profit and Loss. One area addressed by this standard is foreign currency. “IFRS 18 requires foreign exchange differences to be classified in the same category as the income and expenses from the items that resulted in the foreign exchange differences, unless doing so would involve undue cost or effort.”
In Acumatica, Revaluation Gains and Losses are set up for each currency. Since the Revaluation process Creates a CM batch in the General Ledger an accountant can manually adjust the batch to allocate foreign currency gains and losses to the related income and expense accounts.
Does anyone have suggestions for a more sophisticated approach to this?
