Part 5: Managing Multi-Currencies

Strategies for Handling Multiple Currencies

  • Options:

    • Businesses may opt to maintain separate A/P, A/R, and bank accounts for each currency to keep track of transactions accurately.

    • Alternatively, transactions in less frequently used currencies can be consolidated into domestic A/P, A/R, and bank accounts.

  • Considerations:

    • The decision should consider the volume of transactions, operational needs, and the level of foreign exchange risk.

    • Example: A company dealing extensively with EUR and USD may keep separate accounts for clarity and risk management, while sporadic transactions in JPY may be consolidated into a domestic account.
