Account for NCI and CTA in budgets and forecasts

Available on ProPremium

A group plan should show the minority’s share and the translation difference just as the actuals do. BrizoConsol posts both for the budget and the forecast, from the settings you already use for actuals.

You will needOwnership with an NCI and CTA set up for the actuals. Budgets entered at entity level. Budget rates for both rate types, as in <a href="/tutorials/fx-budget-rates">Set rates for budgets and forecasts</a>. An edition other than Standard.

By the endCompany B’s NCI and CTA in Your Group’s 2027 budget, checked on the NCI Report and the CTA Report.

1Know what is posted

Budget	CTA and NCI are posted for every month of the budget.
Forecast	They are posted for the months after the reporting month. The months up to it are actuals, with the actuals’ own CTA and NCI.
Rates	Each scenario is translated at its own closing and average rates.
When	Each time a company’s budget or forecast is saved, typed or uploaded.

Both are worked out from each company’s own figures, so a plan entered only at consolidated level has none.

2Check the NCI

Select Your Group, and open Ownership & Equity → NCI Report.
Choose the Scenario Budget and Dec-2027 in As at period, then click Company B in the table.

Each NCI component shows its base, the NCI percentage, the amount and the account it is posted to, as for the actuals.

NCI Report for the Budget scenario as at Dec-2027: NCI in the balance sheet 343,000, profit attributable to NCI 45,000, and Company B in the NCI movement by subsidiary — Scenario Budget (1), As at period (2), and Company B, which opens its workings (3).

3Check the CTA

Open Adjustments → Currency translation → CTA Report.
Choose the Scenario Budget and Dec-2027 in As at period, then click Company B in the table.

Check

Both reports show figures for the Budget scenario. Open Budget → Balance Sheet for Your Group and choose 2027: the NCI and the translation reserve carry the amounts the reports show.

4If something goes wrong

What you see	What to do
The reports are empty for Budget	Company B’s budget is not in, or was entered only at consolidated level. Check its own Budget pages.
There is no CTA for Company B’s budget, or it looks wrong	One of the two rate types is missing for the Budget month. Check both on Exchange Rates.
The forecast shows no NCI or CTA for October or earlier	Those months are actuals in the forecast. Look at the Actual scenario for them.
