Foreign Currency Exchange
Foreign currency exchange in expense management converts expenses from one currency to the company’s base currency for consistent reporting and reimbursement. Automated systems apply real-time or daily exchange rates from trusted sources, displaying both original and converted amounts for transparency. Employees can submit expenses in local currencies, with foreign transaction fees tracked separately. Multi-currency reports provide visibility for global teams, ensuring accurate financial tracking. Integration with accounting systems aligns converted expenses with the Chart of Accounts, streamlining reconciliation and enhancing audit readiness for cross-border transactions.
