IASB amends IAS 21 to address lack of exchangeability

The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has amended IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates to clarify the approach that should be taken by preparers of financial statements when they are reporting foreign currency transactions, translating foreign operations, or presenting financial statements in a different currency, and there is a long-term lack of exchangeability between the relevant currencies.
