branch manager may not start a rival and competitive business with the concern;
b) To have effective control on stock i.e stock at any time must be equal to opening stock
plus goods received from head office minus sales made at branch.
c) To dictate pricing policy to its branches, as well as save work at branch because prices
have already been decided.

reporting enterprise. The business of IFO is carried on as if it were an extension
of the reporting enterprises operations.

other monetary items, incurring expenses, generating income & arranging
borrowing in its own local currency.

foreign operation, the activities of foreign operation are carried independently without
much dependence on reporting enterprise.
❖ Transactions with the reporting enterprises are not a high proportion of the foreign
operation’s activities.
❖ Activities of foreign operation are mainly financed by its operations or from local
borrowings. In other words, it raises finance independently and is in no way dependent
on reporting enterprises.
❖ Foreign operation sales are mainly in currencies other than reporting currency.
❖ All expenses by foreign operations are primarily paid in local currency, not in the
reporting currency.
❖ Day-to-day cash flow of the reporting enterprises is independent of the foreign
enterprises cash flows.
❖ Sales prices of the foreign enterprises are not affected by the day-to-day changes in
exchange rate of the reporting currency of the foreign operation.
❖ There is an active sales market for the foreign operation product.
