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.
