Description There is a massive foreign currency translation literature, but virtually no empirical research exists that tests alternative translation methods against normative criteria. This study compares three translation methods using theBlack method of evaluating accounting alternatives. The translation method that performed best in this normative test was a price parity method, a method that has never been required or allowed under U.S. GAAP.
