Foreign Currency Transactions

Foreign currency transactions and translation involves the conversion of the financial statement of an organization from the currency of the country in which the organization is based to the currency of another country. This process is necessary when a company has operations in multiple countries and needs to report its financial performance in a consistent manner. The process of foreign currency transactions and translation involves determining the exchange rate, revaluing assets and liabilities, and restating income and expenses. The exchange rate is used to convert the functional currency of the organization to the reporting currency. Revaluing assets and liabilities involves adjusting their values to account for changes in the exchange rate. Restating income and expenses involves converting income and expense items to the reporting currency.
