A subsidiary company is about to configure their General Ledger in a highly regulated country where there is a legal requirement to produce fiscal reports under local GAAP. Subledgers transferring to General Ledger must use the local currency, and there is a requirement to report to the parent company (not local currency) using International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Which two ledger types should be configured to fulfill this reporting requirement?
Answer options
A: Reporting currency with the local accounting convention
B: Reporting currency with the IFRS accounting convention
C: Secondary ledger with the IFRS accounting convention Correct answer
D: Primary ledger with the IFRS accounting convention
E: Primary ledger with the local accounting convention Correct answer
Correct Answer:
C. Secondary ledger with the IFRS accounting convention; E. Primary ledger with the local accounting convention
Explanation

The primary ledger must be configured to meet the local statutory reporting requirements, which in this case is the local GAAP and local currency. A secondary ledger is required to maintain a separate accounting representation for corporate purposes, such as reporting to the parent company under a different accounting convention (IFRS). A reporting currency ledger shares the same chart of accounts, calendar, and accounting method as its source ledger and is used only for currency conversion, making it unsuitable for representing a different accounting standard like IFRS.

Why Incorrect

A. Reporting currency cannot maintain a different accounting convention from the primary ledger; it's only for currency translation.
B. Reporting currency cannot maintain a different accounting convention from the primary ledger; it's only for currency translation.
D. A primary ledger with IFRS would fail to meet the legal requirement to produce fiscal reports under the local GAAP.
