     Translation risk (or Accounting Exposure)

Translation risk (or accounting exposure) is the vulnerability of a multinational company's consolidated financial statements to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. It occurs when a parent company translates the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of its foreign subsidiaries into its home currency for reporting purposes.
