Clear guidelines for your currency transactions.
First and foremost, creating a policy sounds like strict rules and bureaucracy. But it doesn't have to. A 1-page document that records the company's currency strategy is usually sufficient. So why bother?
No one knows how exchange rates will develop from one day to the other — forecasts are highly inaccurate. As humans, we often make irrational decisions — particularly with regard to risks. With a currency policy, you reduce the likelihood that adverse currency developments will affect your commercial margins. You also have a set of rules at hand that you can approve together with the Board of Directors and the owner.
