Has anyone had issues with exchange rates between cash & accrual basis reports?

I run a cash basis report to calculate commissions - it gives a different exchange rate to the accruals basis report

Has anyone had issues with exchange rates between cash & accrual basis reports?

Thanks for reaching out to us, @mw-design-thinki. I'm here to explain why you're experiencing issues with your reports.  

 

Regarding accounting, cash basis, and accrual basis are two different methods used to record and report financial transactions. The cash basis recognizes revenue and expenses when cash is received or paid. In contrast, the accrual basis recognizes revenue and expenses when earned or incurred, regardless of when cash is exchanged.

 

Exchange rates can impact the conversion of foreign currency transactions when preparing financial reports. Differences in exchange rates between cash and accrual basis reports can arise due to various factors, such as the timing of cash receipts or payments and the rate used for currency conversion.
