When there’s a receivable in a foreign currency, do you revalue it at the end of each accounting period? Or is the receivable going to stay at the fx rate it was originally recognized ? Are there any exceptions? I’m leaning towards the first but wondering if I’m missing something

If the receivable is in a different currency and has yet to be received, and is not subject to changes based on fluctuations, you revalue it at end of month to reporting currency till received.

Until that currency is officially exchanged to your reporting currency, you have to revalue it each month.

I think it is important to be clear on the difference between conversion and translation and between (1) converting a non-functional currency denominated instrument into functional currency vs (2) translating the functional currency balance into reporting currency.

I might be confusing conversion and translation above but I believe (1) goes through the P&L as gain/loss on FX while (2) goes through OCI on the CTA line.

(I'm in tax, so don't take my word for it!)

Do you record your unbillable time? I have had conflicting responses. I have been told it's not good for efficiency calculations but others have told me if your still doing work let people know.

I have been told not to bill for this but if I didn't have to spend time to do such things my billable hours would be higher
