Introduction. Accounting for foreign economic activity was and remains a relevant area of accounting support for business entities, which is associated with an increased risk of errors in connection with changes in regulatory documents on such activities, different conditions for carrying out activities due to the variability of the terms of foreign economic contracts, the need to take into account different exchange rates and the correct submission and presentation of information in financial statements. It is important for business entities to comply with the requirements of legislation, to organize proper internal control/internal audit to prevent errors in reflected transactions in the conditions of foreign economic activity. The purpose of the paper is to highlight the features of accounting for foreign economic activity, taking into account the latest changes and the impact on currency supervision and financial monitoring. Results. Subjects of foreign economic activity must also comply with the rules of currency exchange, import and export licensing, as well as customs procedures. Starting from 2019, currency supervision replaced currency control, a risk-oriented approach was introduced. Correct accounting is affected by the control of settlement deadlines, i.e. the time between the customs declaration and the payment. The experience of regulating foreign economic activity in Ukraine was the mandatory sale of proceeds by exporters under foreign economic contracts, which was canceled in 2019 by the NBU Resolution of February 6, 2019, №. 3. During the martial law, it was not restored. Funds, before entering the current account, may first be credited to a distribution account in the bank, which is in transit, and the operations of crediting to the distribution account and transferring to the current account may take place both during the same day and on different days. Based on the set of criteria for risky operations of foreign economic activity and taking into account internal documents, the bank can make a decision to break up the operation and violate the deadlines even if formal criteria are observed in export-import operations. Conclusion. Under the conditions of extraordinary events, there is a need to establish new currency regulation and control measures. Currency supervision is based on a risk-oriented approach and certain indicators of violations of currency legislation should be taken into account when implementing internal control measures.
