Abstract: The structure and the constituent parts of financial statements are regulated at a national level, mainly by Accounting regulations compliant with European Directives ? O.M.P.F. no. 3055/2009, but also by Accounting regulations compliant with International Financial Reporting Standards applied by the trading companies whose securities are rated on a regulated capital market ? O.M.P.F. no. 1286/2012. From this latter point of view, an important role is played by IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”, respectively IAS 21 “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”. Therefore, this study aims to describe a series of theoretical and practical aspects regarding the particularities of presenting elements generated by foreign currency transactions in financial statements, which are prepared in compliance with the Romanian accounting regulations ? balance sheet, profit and loss account, cash flow statement, statement of changes in equity, explanatory notes. The paper also approaches the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates, respectively the accounting recognition of exchange differences, which are specific to different foreign currency operations, according to national regulations (and implicitly, to European Directives), but also according to international regulations (IFRS).
