Hi Everyone
I would like your views on this one.
A ltd (dollar account) holds 100% of B ltd (dollar) who holds 100% of Z (Euro ac). A company has approached A, to buy a controlling stake in Z. However if A was to lose control, on disposal, the cumulative amount of exchange differences that was recognised in equity is reclassified to income statement.
If Z functional currency were to be changed from Euro to Dollar, what impact would there be on A ltd and the Translation reserve balance carried forward from last year? Is there any way for A to dispose of Z that would not impact its income statement?
Thanks.

No because on partial or full disposal company A will have crystalised an exchange gain or loss.
