Summary
This paper describes how the standard graphic presentation of financial statements eliminates the need to convert various currencies to a common currency for management control and financial comparison purposes. Once an acceptable operating template is defined, the financial data can be graphically presented and compared to the template in the original currency. Performance variances are readily identified between operations in various countries without conversion. (Obviously conversion is required for financial statement consolidation.) This powerful approach opens the potential for rapid dissemination of operating data and the accurate interpretation of the results graphically presented.
