Explanation:

In translating the foreign currency denominated subsidiary into parent's company presentation currency,the values of the subsidiary assets and liabilities change in order that the group financial performance(income statement) and position(balance sheet ) can be presented in one single uniform currency such that it is much easier for stakeholders to view the combined entity results in one single document.

This would accord the stakeholders to take important decisions on the entity as whole ,for instance a buy/divest decision.
