The current market value of that receivable is different. Currency adjustment revalues it to the current rate so the Balance Sheet shows the correct INR value. Without this adjustment, your Balance Sheet overstates or understates foreign currency assets and liabilities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Running a Currency Adjustment in Zoho Books<\/h2>\n<p>Go to Accounting, then Currency Adjustments, and click New Adjustment. Set the adjustment date (the last day of the reporting period, such as 31 March). Select the accounts to revalue: typically the Accounts Receivable account, the Accounts Payable account, and any foreign currency bank accounts. Enter the closing exchange rate for each currency. Zoho Books calculates the difference between the current INR value and the previous INR value and posts a journal entry for the net gain or loss to the Foreign Exchange Gain or Loss account. Confirm and save.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Currency Adjustments in Indian Accounting<\/h2>\n<p>Under the Companies Act and Indian accounting standards (Ind AS 21 or AS 11), monetary foreign currency items must be translated at the closing rate at each Balance Sheet date, with exchange differences recognised in the P&#038;L. The annual currency adjustment in Zoho Books gives your CA the journal entry needed to comply with this standard, showing the correct revalued balance on the 31 March Balance Sheet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-example-box\"><strong>Industry:<\/strong> IT Export \u2014 A Hyderabad software company has USD 1,50,000 in outstanding receivables on 31 March. When invoiced in January, the USD\/INR rate was 82. On 31 March, the rate is 84. The currency adjustment in Zoho Books revalues the receivables by INR 3,00,000 (USD 1,50,000 multiplied by INR 2 movement) and posts a Foreign Exchange Gain of INR 3 lakhs to the P&#038;L.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-related-pills\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/foreign-currency-zoho-books\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Foreign Currency<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/exchange-rate-books-zoho-books\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Exchange Rate<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/accounts-receivable-zoho-books\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Accounts Receivable<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/balance-sheet-zoho-books\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Balance Sheet<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\"><strong>What is Currency Adjustment in Zoho Books?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A currency adjustment in Zoho Books revalues open foreign currency receivables, payables, and bank balances at the current exchange rate, with gains or losses posted to the foreign exchange account to keep the Balance Sheet accurate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\"><strong>How do I run a currency adjustment in Zoho Books?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Go to Accounting, then Currency Adjustments, click New Adjustment.
