Hi,
Regarding the foreign entity consolidation, I’m seeing some difference between Kaplan and BPP treatments where Kaplan treated the Exchange gains/losses on translation of goodwill and Net assets to a separate line in Equity called “Exchange difference reserve”. Meanwhile, BPP treated these 2 directly to Retained earnings and NCI, not showing a separate equity item.
Which approach should we follow? As exchange difference is shown as OCI in SoCI, I’m not sure why BPP is treating it as RE
Regards,
Hi,
There is no specific requirement to show the separate exchange difference reserve, you welcome to do so but it is much more challenging to do so.
Thanks
