What is a home currency adjustment?

Home currency adjustments change the home currency value of your foreign balances, recalculating them based on a new rate. These adjustments affect your balance sheet accounts.

Until you recalculate the home currency value of your foreign balances using current exchange rates, your reports show the home currency value based on the exchange rates you used at the time of each transaction.

At the end of a reporting period, when you need your financial reports to show a current home currency value of your foreign balances, you can enter a home currency adjustment.

We show the effect of a home currency adjustment to accounts payable or accounts receivable as an unrealized gain or loss. We show the effect of a home currency adjustment to other account types, like bank accounts, as a realized gain or loss.

Tip: We recommend that you work with an accounting professional before entering these adjustments.

Note: Home currency adjustments do no affect foreign balance accounts.

How do I create a home currency adjustment?

You must have multicurrency turned on to be able to create home currency adjustments.
To create a home currency adjustment:
  1. Select the Gear icon at the top.
  2. Under Lists, select Currencies.
  3. Find the currency you wish to make an adjustment for and in its Action column, click the downward-pointing arrow.
  4. Select Revalue currency to bring up the revalue screen.
  5. Select a date (today or a day in the past) to run a currency revaluation.
  6. Select whether you'd like the revaluation to be based on the market exchange rate or a rate you specify.
  7. Select the account(s) you want to apply the revaluation to.
  8. Click Revalue.
Important: For your books to stay accurate and compliant, we can only save one exchange rate per day per account. We use this exchange rate to calculate unrealized gain and/or losses.

Cash book template: a useful tool for bookkeeping

The cash book is one of the most important accounting books for corporate bookkeeping. In the form of a simple document, often an Excel spreadsheet, the cash book is used to record a   company’s cash payments . After all, if the annual financial statements are due at the end of the fiscal year, the IRS doesn’t only want to see the transactions done via debit or credit, but also a list of all cash transactions. Keeping a cash book helps ensure that this list is complete. Corresponding templates are a great help. The advantage of a   digital cash book format using an Excel spreadsheet : It’s quick, clear, and the entered amounts are automatically offset against each other. In this way, digital cash book templates offer a direct overview of the financial situation of a company and spare the need for time-consuming calculations – where errors can easily creep in. A cash book template also has advantages for all self-employed individuals – regardless of whether you’re oblig...

BREXIT AND VAT

The EVD has direct and over-riding effect on all EU Member States but local legislation is required because the EVD allows for countries to pick and choose certain rules. As a result, the local VAT rules across the EU are not always consistent. Why is this important when thinking about Brexit? It’s important because once the UK leaves the EU it will theoretically (but this is not certain) no longer be bound by the EVD. This means that the UK could have free reign to amend its VAT rules as it sees fit. For example, it would no longer be prevented from applying a reduced VAT rate on supplies of women’s sanitary products which is currently precluded under the EVD. Also, the rates of VAT applied to physical and digital newspapers and books (zero-rated and standard-rated respectively) could be harmonised without having to get the agreement of all 27 other EU Member States.
