A month-end checklist for teams closing books with foreign receipts and cross-border expenses.

Foreign receipts create more month-end friction than domestic ones because finance needs two truths at once: what was paid on the receipt and what that payment means in the reporting currency.
Short answer
Before close, each row should keep original currency, original amount, receipt date, base currency, converted amount, and a visible review status for exceptions.
The month-end checklist
- Confirm the receipt date
- Confirm original currency
- Keep the original amount unchanged
- Confirm the reporting currency
- Check the converted amount
- Separate unclear rows from clean rows
