CTA  Account

  • System allows to capture FX information in a separate CTA account for all of the historical accounts.
  • CTA member represents the total CTA adjustments.
  • Calculation logic is included in the consolidation script for the re-direction from the source historical accounts to the CTA account.
  • With one CTA account, all FX-CTA calculation results are accumulated to the single CTA account.
  • CTA account is part of Owner’s Equity on the Balance Sheet for US-GAAP reporting purposes.

 

CICTA Account

Exchange Rates

FCCS supports two system exchange rates

  • Average Rate for Flow Accounts

 

Historical Accounts

 

  • The Historical Accounts group contains Historical accounts with a Rate Override or an Amount Override for translation.
  • Historical accounts are created as shared members, for example, FCCS Common Stock
  • If an account is a Historical Account, but does not contain an Override (for example, Retained Earnings), it is not included in the Historical Accounts hierarchy.
  • Historical Account must assign “Historical Rate Override” or “Historical Amount Override” as the Exchange Rate Type.
  • System uses the applicable override for the account during translation.
  • If not specified the Historical account is translated using the Average rate.
  • A pre-built system form named Override Rates is generated from the Historical Account Hierarchy enables to either the Override amount or Override rate for each entity for each currency

 

Cash Change Hierarchy

  • Shows the opening and closing balance of cash accounts and calculates the change in cash adjusted for currency fluctuations.
  • No Configuration is required
