Publisher's Synopsis
"Those Currency Headwinds from a strong U.S. dollar amounted to a $1.6 billion negative impact on revenues - $1.3 billion after the benefit of the company's hedging program. In fact, on a constant-currency basis, total revenue for the quarter grew 21 percent year-over-year (instead of the 13 percent reported)." 22 Oct 2015, Google, Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai If one only divides the Translation - losses of these 30 companies outside the Dow Jones Index with the Net Income of the respective year 2013, 2014 or 2015 it is calculated a quotient of -8,7%, -26,2% and -28%.

So the US - GAAP and IFRS - balance rules for the Translation - Risk should be changed. These and other interesting facts / solutions are within this book.
