SAP Foreign Currency Revaluation: FAS 52 and GAAP Requirements

This book covers SAP’s Finance module focusing on the business and functional aspects of foreign currency revaluation from the statutory requirements (FAS 52) to the execution to the configuration.

FASB 52: REQUIREMENTS OVERVIEW

The Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 52 (FASB 52), Foreign Currency Translation, defines the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requirements for foreign currency revaluation. The complete Statement can be found on the FASB website http://www.fasb.org.

Net Income Impacts

Currency fluctuations that affect cash flows are included in the calculation of Net Income. These would be the Gains and Losses resulting from the revaluation of components of assets or liabilities that originated from foreign currency postings. Gains and Losses resulting from normal short-term or immediate foreign currency intercompany transactions are also included in the Net Income for the period.

FASB 52: CURRENCY TRANSLATION

FASB 52 uses the terms valuation, revaluation, and translation interchangeably. For the purposes of this book, we will use “revaluation” to indicate the revaluation of the Financial Statements from Transaction Currency to Local Currency and “translation” as the Local to Group Currency adjustment process.

FASB 52: CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATES

Paragraph 12 of the FASB 52 (December 1981) states:

All elements of financial statements shall be translated by using a current exchange rate. For assets and liabilities, the exchange rate at the balance sheet date shall be used. For revenues, expenses, gains, and losses, the exchange rate at the dates on which those elements are recognized shall be used. Because translation at the exchange rates at the dates the numerous revenues, expenses, gains, and losses are recognized is generally impractical, an appropriately weighted average exchange rate for the period may be used to translate those elements. Paragraph 27a of FASB 52 (December 1981) states: Foreign Currency Transactions-The applicable rate at which a particular transaction could be settled at the transaction date shall be used to translate and record the transaction. At a subsequent balance sheet date, the current rate is that rate at which the related receivable or payable could be settled at that date.
