The HOA is responsible for building and grounds maintenance, security, maid service (if desired), as well as general administration of the HOA which includes paying taxes, utilities, billing owners, etc. Virtually all costs incurred are denominated in pesos. The current year's budgeted expenditures are 5,250,000 pesos. Approximately two-thirds of the budget is comprised of salaries for various HOA employees. The budgeting process is largely driven by the expenditures requested by management. Once those have been justified and agreed upon by the Board of Directors of the HOA, management converts the budget into U.S. dollars. The budgeted expenditures amount is then divided by 150, the number of condominiums, to determine the annual condominium fees. The resulting annual fee is then divided by four as homeowner fees are paid quarterly on the first day of each quarter. Since most condo owners' primary residences are in the U.S. it was decided that condo fees would be denominated in U.S. dollars rather than the local currency.

• During the last few years management used an exchange rate of 10.5 pesos to the U.S. dollar to convert the peso denominated budget into dollars. Actual exchange rates fluctuated between 9.9 and 13.9 pesos per U.S. dollar during that period. The manager of the HOA is insisting on utilizing the same conversion factor as in the past years. His arguments range from "consistency" to "no one can predict the future". Randy is uncomfortable with this approach. He takes his fiduciary responsibilities seriously and while on his watch as treasurer he wants the budgeting process accomplished in a professional manner. As the budgeting process moves forward Randy knows he must decide how he wants the currency translation to be handled. He will also need to provide a coherent argument for his position and draft a memo for the HOA's Board and manager. As Randy contemplates these exchange rate issues he notices a squall building rapidly a few miles to the west and moving his way. Apparently it's time to make some decisions both financial and navigational.The HOA is responsible for building and grounds maintenance, security, maid service (if desired), as well as general administration of the HOA which includes paying taxes, utilities, billing owners, etc. Virtually all costs incurred are denominated in pesos.
