FAQ :
The MCA has introduced amendments to Ind AS 21 focusing on defining 'exchangeability,' providing guidelines for assessing it, clarifying how to estimate spot exchange rates for non-exchangeable currencies, and introducing new disclosure requirements.
The amendments will come into effect from April 1, 2025, and are applicable prospectively for financial periods beginning on or after this date.
A currency is considered exchangeable when it can be obtained within a reasonable timeframe, allowing for normal administrative delays, through a market or mechanism that creates enforceable rights and obligations.
If a currency is not exchangeable, companies must estimate the spot exchange rate reflecting the rate at which an orderly transaction would occur between market participants.
Yes, entities estimating exchange rates must now disclose the nature and financial effects of non-exchangeability, the spot exchange rates used and estimation techniques, risks arising from non-exchangeability, and the inputs and assumptions applied.
No, the amendments do not require the restatement of comparatives. Any adjustments are to be made to opening retained earnings or the foreign currency translation reserve.
