Foreign Branches
When a branch is established abroad. It is called a Foreign Branch. The accounting
arrangements for a foreign branch are exactly the same as for any independent branch
up to the Trial Balance. But in this case accounts are maintained in foreign currency to
correspond with the local conditions. The main problem, which the Head Office has to
face, is the restatement of accounts one currency into another. In order to incorporate
the Trial Balance of a foreign branch in the books of the Head Office. It must be
translated (using appropriate exchange rates) into the currency of the Head Office.
Rules for Conversion of Branch Trial Balance when Exchange Rates are `Stable'
Exchange rate is said to be stable, when it does not vary to a great extent from time to
time. In this situation, a fixed exchange rate can be used to convert the branch Trial
Balance into the currency of the Head Office with the exception of (a) Remittances, and
(b) Head Office Current Account.

a. Remittances: These are converted at the actual rates at which they were made.
b. Head Office Current Account: The actual figures shown for the Branch Current
Account in the books of the Head Office (after taking into consideration in-
transit items).
When the foreign branch Trial Balance is converted into local currency, a new Trial
Balance takes birth known as "Difference on Exchange Account" is opened to make
the Trial Balance agree.
