Abstract

Circumstances, which include international trade intensification, development of various forms of business cooperation outside national borders-co-production, transfer of technology, joint ventures, strategic alliances, direct foreign investments, and dynamic changes in the business environment, require the management of a company to change their focus, from a local to a global approach. Multinational companies are business leaders in a global framework. The aim of this paper is to highlight the key challenges that multinational companies face when translating foreign currency transactions and the financial statements of foreign business operations for the purpose of compiling consolidated financial statements. In addition, the paper examines whether the chosen functional currency and the exchange rate can be viewed as instruments of their financial reporting policy. Intenziviranje međunarodne trgovine, razvoj različitih oblika poslovne saradnje van nacionalnih granica - koprodukcija, transfer tehnologije, zajednička ulaganja, strategijske alijanse, strane direktne investicije, kao i dinamične promene poslovnog okruženja, zahtevaju da menadžment preduzeća preusmeri poslovno razmišljanje sa lokalnog na globalni pristup. Multinacionalne kompanije predstavljaju nosioce poslovanja u globalnim okvirima. Cilj rada je da ukaže na ključne izazove sa kojima se menadžment multinacionalnih kompanija suočava prilikom prevođenja transakcija u stranoj valuti i finansijskih izveštaja inostranog poslovanja za potrebe sastavljanja konsolidovanih finansijskih izveštaja. Dodatno, u radu se istražuje da li je izbor funkcionalne valute i kursa razmene moguće posmatrati kao instrumente politike finansijskog izveštavanja.
