Question

What exchange rate should be utilised by the entities with a functional currency other than Euro when translating their accounts into EUR for the purpose of FINREP reporting?

Background

FINREP reporting instructions do not provide any explicit recommendations regarding the exchange rate to be utilised for conversion from the functional currency into the presentational currency. As a result, different practices can be observed among the entities, including: using the exchange rate in effect as of the balance sheet date, the average exchange rate for the reporting period, the official ECB rate at the end of the reporting period, etc. In our opinion, this is particularly relevant for the entities whose functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy, when the translation into presentational currency is strongly affected by rapid movements in the exchange rate between them.
