Happy new year -
My first 2014 question.
I have two foreign currency bank accounts to revalue. Just wondering what I should use as my source for the exchange rate to revalue to? Do you normally ask for a rate from your own bank?
- Probably obvious to others, but in previous jobs FX was done corporately.
Thanks

Foreign Currency revaluation at year-end
I, too, have used OANDA for foreign currency valuations although it is designed more for trading, having "buy" and "sell" rates. For current valuations, where I need to have one rate in place for both receivables, payables, and bank accounts etc., I use "xe.com" which gives mid-market rates. The archive of rates goes back a long way so you may refer to it with confidence on future research without the uncertainty of " was the rate used - buy / sell / mid-point / weighted?"
Good luck - I'm also doing mine now for December year-end!
