Foreign Currency Cash Flows :-

1. Cash flows arising from transactions in a foreign currency should be recorded in an entity’s reporting currency by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the cash flow.
2. The cash flows of a foreign controlled entity should be translated at the exchange rates between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the dates of the cash flows.
3. Cash flows denominated in a foreign currency are reported in a manner consistent with IPSAS 4, “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.” This permits the use of an exchange rate that approximates the actual rate. For example, a weighted average exchange rate for a period may be used for recording foreign currency transactions or the translation of the cash flows of a foreign controlled entity. IPSAS 4 does not permit the use of the exchange rate at reporting date when translating the cash flows of a foreign controlled entity.

reported in the cash flow statement in order to reconcile cash and cash4. Unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in foreign currency exchange rates are not cash flows. However, the effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents held or due in a foreign currency is equivalents at the beginning and the end of the period. This amount is presented separately from cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities and includes the differences, if any, had those cash flows been reported at end of period exchange rates.
