Preserve original currency and conversion context so financial reviews remain explainable.
Keep both currency views
Record the original transaction amount and currency, along with any converted amount and the rate used in your records.
Capture the rate source and date
Document where the rate came from and when it applied. Specific tax rules for conversion may differ by transaction and period.
Separate exchange differences
Avoid hiding exchange-rate adjustments inside unrelated revenue or expense categories.
Reconcile each account
Match each bank movement to the correct invoice or explanation, and distinguish transfers between owned accounts from customer payments.
Escalate uncertain treatment
Have a qualified adviser review entries where the proper rate, timing, or tax treatment is unclear.
