settlement date, there will be will be a foreign currency monetary item
(creditor balance) that will need to be translated into local currency.

period, and if there is a difference between the spot rate on transaction date and the spot rate
on reporting date.

the port of shipment.

INITIAL RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT: MONETARY AND NON-

A foreign currency transaction shall be initially measured by:

𝐹𝑜𝑟𝑒𝑖𝑔𝑛 𝑐𝑢𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑦 𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡 × 𝑆𝑝𝑜𝑡 𝑒𝑥𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒(𝑎𝑡 𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑑𝑎𝑡𝑒)

Monetary items are translated to the latest exchange rates on each subsequent reporting date
and in settlement date.



EXCHANGE DIFFERENCES: MONETARY ITEMS

- Transactions and settlement on the same day (cash transaction): No exchange
differences to account for.
- Settlement deferred (credit transaction): exchange difference arise when the settlement
date occurs after the transaction date.
