Abstract: Tools for analysis of foreign currency gain/loss are described. An analysis tool obtains multicurrency accounting data from one or more systems. Based on a selected exposure period, exchange rates for the exposure period, and the obtained accounting data, the analysis tool can compute an expected foreign currency gain or loss for the exposure period. Exposure for the beginning and ending of the exposure period are computed, and can be compared to generate a delta exposure for the exposure period. The analysis tool then generates an expected foreign currency gain and/or loss for the exposure period, and reports the expected gain/loss. The report indicates actual foreign currency gain/loss balances from accounting records for the exposure period compared to calculated expected foreign currency gain/loss for analysis. Material exceptions between the actual balance and calculated expected balance can be isolated for further investigation to test multicurrency accounting practices in place within the enterprise.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses enable finding and resolving intercompany (I/C) transaction issues in accounting data for a corporate enterprise. A data management tool receives general ledger data that defines intercompany account balances for multiple business entities of the corporate enterprise. The data management tool identifies a trading relationship and a currency relationship between two business entities of the corporate enterprise. The data management tool groups account balances based on the identified trading relationship and currency relationship. The data management tool generates one or more reports or indicators that indicate the grouped account balances.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses enable management of accounting data for currency exposure analysis. A management system receives general ledger data defining asset and liability accounts balances for a business entity. The management system selectively filters the account balances based on functional currency and whether they are subject to revaluation. The management system can thus provide a data set of data that can properly be evaluated for currency exposure risk. The management system generates one or more reports to indicate what errors or potential errors, if any, exist within the data. The management system may be configured to apply additional filters to the data and/or provide additional processing to prepare the data for passing to a foreign exchange risk analysis module.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses enable forecast currency risk management. A risk management system receives forecast or prospective transaction data denominated in a first currency. A value of forecast currency exposure is determined for the forecast data respective to a second currency. The system matches hedge data to the forecast currency exposure to determine a net prospective currency exposure, which may indicate under- or over-hedging. To compensate for the net prospective currency exposure, the system determines a hedge action. The net prospective currency exposure can then be revised based on the hedge action, and the hedge action and revised net prospective currency exposure can be reported.

Abstract: A method and system for identifying and managing currency exposure is provided. In certain implementations, a company's accounting data, including the data of its subordinate entities, is uploaded to one or more servers. Each entity's foreign currency exposures are calculated. Foreign currency exposures of different entities that offset one another may be netted. Similar currency exposures are summed across all entities. Each resulting currency exposure is converted to the company's reporting currency. The converted currency exposures of the entities are summed together to report the gross currency exposure for the company. To calculate the overall net currency exposure for the company, the value of the currency-based derivatives represented in the company's reporting currency is subtracted from the gross currency exposures of the company.
