A CTA (Cumulative Translation Adjustment) is a line in an accounting statement that deals with gains and losses caused by exchange rate changes. This ensures that financial reports are as accurate as possible and reflect the true economic health of the company.
At Accountfy you can view detailed conversions per Management Structure, taking a standard exchange rate as parameter.

Configuring an exchange rate for CTA
According to instructions in CPC 02, the closing exchange rate allows to calculate exchange rate variations, resulting from the difference between conversion of revenues and expenses, exchange rates in force on the transaction dates (or average rates) and the conversion of Assets and Liabilities by the exchange closing rate.
In the platform, the selected rate will serve as basis to calculate the difference between exchange rates of the structures.
To configure the CTA, access the contextual menu of the Economic Group in the My Groups home screen and select Edit Economic Group. At the end of the modal, a list with the registered exchange rates will be shown. For an assertive CTA calculation, it is recommended to choose the closing rate, as explained above.
If there are no previously registered exchange rates, a message will appear, as in the image, requesting to register them in the Consolidation Module. Access the article Consolidation Scenario to see how to register exchange rates.
