For NetSuite OneWorld with multi-currency enabled, consolidated cash flow statement reports include an Effect of Exchange Rate on Cash row. This row adjusts for the effects of rate differences in cash flow statement accounts for the period. This adjustment ensures the cash flow statement’s Cash at End of Period is consistent with the balance sheet’s Bank or cash equivalent. This row is a calculated amount that accounts for the related amount in the Cumulative Translation Adjustment (CTA) account used in the consolidated balance sheet. Generally, no postings are made for exchange rate adjustment amounts included in this row. Exchange rate adjustment postings, when they do occur, are made to the CTA account. The adjustment calculated for the Effect of Exchange Rate on Cash row adds or subtracts any CTA amount as necessary.
