Accounting Exposure

    0.02 sec.
Accounting exposure
The change in the value of a firm's foreign currency-denominated accounts due to a change in exchange rates.

Accounting Exposure
The risk that a company may suffer a reduction in value because a change in exchange rates reduces the value of its accounts or assets denominated in foreign currencies. That is, if a particular currency in which a company has some assets denominated decreases in value, the value of those assets also decreases with respect to the company's main currency. Accounting exposure is also called accounting risk or translation risk. See also: Foreign exchange risk.
