| mimi01 | I do not understand this |
| pjdeschenes | I think the idea is the foreign sub should have a set of GAAP-adjusted books. These have to be generated prior to translation. |
| arudkov | if u use IFRS - first - convert 2 US GAAP in functional currency. second - convert converted GAAP statements 2 presentation currency. |
| vinaysood | Adjustment means to bring in accordance with US GAAP. Hence, it has to be done prior to beginning of Translation. |
I was very pleased with your notes and question bank. I especially like the mock exams because it helped to pull everything together.
