hello
Can someone please help - I don't understand how we arrive at the exchange difference when consolidating a foreign subsidiary.
From the notes I have:
Net Assets b/f @ opening rate + ? +/- Ex diff= Net Assets c/f
I don't understand the figure I am supposed to be adding '?'
thanks

Ok?
Yes that makes sense now thanks.
Your lectures are a god send, many thanks Mike!
