I’ll start with my first one:
Remeasurement or Translation?
I walk into a store in Germany. Its Local and Functional currencies are the same: the Euro. The signs are also in German. I ask for “Translation, please?” I get a response: “The Current Rate is … Dollars per Euro”.

you wont forget that
I’m remembering some multinational operations by the placement of letters.
If reporting and functional currency are the:
(S)ame , then (T)emporal
(D)ifferent , then ©urrent
(S,T) and (C,D) are next to each other in the alphabet.
Same for which method to use in a hyper-inflationary environment:
(T)emporal --> (U)S GAAP
©urrent --> (I)FRS
Again, (T,U) and less neatly (C,I).
Where are the adjustments made?
(B)alance sheet --> ©urrent method
(B,C) well once I remember this, I can remember temporal adjustments must then be made in the income statement.
Also, Pierre, that would be quite the trick. Think you’ve got your naughty bits switched up, pretty sure it doesn’t work that way.

At this rate, looks like there will need to be a Level 2.5 exam as a filler between L2 and L3. Just to test you on your skills of acronyms and conotations.
Roe is my pal.
ROE = §rofit Margin x (A)sset Turnover x (L)everage
I think there is an easier way to remember current vs temporal.
If they use the reporting currency as the functional currency they they are making conversions all the time hence temporal method.
If they functional currency is different that your reporting currency then they are making one conversion at the end of year current rate.
on that note Stable growth rate = ®etention ratio x PAL
®oe is my PAL
I’ve never been a big “gimmicky memorizer” or whatever you’d call this method… but “Up the Bid and Multiply / Down the Ask and Divide” is great
