Cumulative Translation Adjustment Account
Cumulative Translation Adjustment Account
On a
balance sheet, an account where a company reports fluctuations in
exchange rates that have occurred since it acquired an
asset in a foreign
currency. CTA accounts exist because
FASB No. 52 requires companies to report assets held in foreign currencies to be reported at their current exchange rates.
