What is multi-currency accounting? Why do banks use this instead of the legacy single currency system?

Traditional way of recognising foreign currency transactions in a base currency of account cannot support the needs of entities operating in an environment of fast moving and massive turnover transactions in multiple currencies. These entities are primarily in the financial services industry. Banks, for example, handle huge volumes of foreign exchange deals in multiple currencies and in wholesale-sized transactions daily. The front office monitors currency risk exposures by the seconds. The middle office keeps daily vigil on realised exchange gains or losses, and valuations on their massive FX carry trades and open cash positions.
