balance sheet date. All exchange gains or losses arising from translation as well as those arise when balance sheet items
settled are recognised in the income statement.

determined.When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognised directly in equity, any exchange component of

in profit or loss, any exchange component of that gain or loss is recognised in the income statement.
