IAS 21 establishes accounting standards for the translation of the financial statements of a foreign operation for use by a reporting enterprise (a Canadian investor).A foreign operation is viewed as either integrated or self-sustaining for translation purposes, depending on whether the functional currency of the foreign entity is the same as or different from the functional currency of the Canadian reporting entity.

IAS 21 defines functional currency as the currency of primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The primary economic environment is normally the one in which the entity primarily generates and expends cash.

There are many indicators for determining the functional currency for a foreign operation. When the indicators are mixed and the functional currency is not obvious, management uses its professional judgement to determine the functional currency.
