The current rate method is an accounting approach used for translating foreign currency financial statements into the reporting currency, based on the current exchange rates at the balance sheet date. This method reflects the economic realities faced by entities operating in multiple currencies, as it translates assets and liabilities at the current exchange rate, while income and expenses are generally translated at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates.
