Multi-GAAP Dimension

The Multi-GAAP dimension is an optional dimension that is used if you need to report your financial statements in both local GAAP and in IFRS or other GAAP. This dimension tracks the local GAAP data input as well as any GAAP adjustments.

You can rename members to reflect the correct GAAP adjustment, if required. You can also include additional members and hierarchies for other GAAP adjustments.

By default, if you select this dimension, the system provides the following dimension members:

  • FCCS_No Multi-GAAP

  • FCCS_Local GAAP
