Map CTA posting accounts

The CTA on a foreign company’s capital, reserves and retained earnings is posted against the group equity account each one belongs to. Most are matched for you. The rest are listed until you map them, and their CTA isn’t posted until you do.

You will needCTA switched on for each foreign company and the CTA reserve account chosen, as in Handle foreign currency companies. Journals & Eliminations Admin or Administrator access.

By the endEvery equity account of Company B and Company C mapped, and the CTA posted for all of them.

1Know how accounts are matched

For each equity account of a company in another currency, BrizoConsol looks for the group account in this order:

1. A mapping you saved	On this page, as below.
2. The same code	A group account with the same code: Company B’s 3000 Share Capital matches the group’s 3000.
3. The same name	A group account with the same name, whatever its code.

An account with none of these is listed under Equity accounts to map for its company. This is separate from Account Mapping: an account mapped there for the reports still needs a match here.

2Map the listed accounts

Select Your Group, and open Adjustments → Currency translation → Settings.
Under Companies, click a company with an amber dot, such as Company B. Under Equity accounts to map, read each row: the company’s account and its Kind.
In Group account, choose the group equity account it belongs to, and click Save mapping. Then do the same for Company C.

CTA settings with Company B selected: the note at the top names the two accounts to map, and Equity accounts to map lists 3450 Asset Revaluation Surplus with 3400 Revaluation Reserve chosen as its Group account, and Save mapping — The company’s account (1), the group account it belongs to (2), and save (3).

For Your Group:

Account	Kind	Group account
Company B, 3450 Asset Revaluation Surplus	Equity	3400 Revaluation Reserve
Company C, 3050 Profit and Loss Account	Retained earnings (2024, 2025)	3200 Retained Earnings

A Retained earnings row lists in brackets the years whose retained earnings are waiting for it. Each mapping is saved on its own, and the CTA is posted again as soon as it is.

3Check the CTA is complete

Reload Settings. The note at the top no longer names an account to map, and each mapped account shows its group account under Equity accounts to map.
Open Adjustments → Currency translation → CTA / FCTR for Oct-2026, and click Company B’s Auto CTA Journal row: its lines now include the mapped accounts.

Check

On the group’s Balance Sheet for October, NET ASSET equals EQUITY, and every Auto CTA Journal row’s Diff is 0.00.

4If something goes wrong

Selected account must be in the equity section.	Choose a group account in the equity section of the Common COA.
… to fix for CTA to post correctly: choose the CTA reserve account	No reserve account is chosen. Click the CTA reserve account icon beside Companies and choose it, as in Handle foreign currency companies.
A new account appears in the list later	The company added an equity account with a code and name the group doesn’t have. Map it the same way.
