The Financial account is for exchange of currencies and financial assets across countries.
Miguel, a U.S. resident, buys an HDTV set for $2,500 and sends it to Mexico as a gift to his parents. <u>DEBIT CURRENT ACCOUNT. CREDIT CURRENT ACCOUNT. </u>
Miguel buys the good in the U.S. and then sends it so this falls under the current account alone.
Arielle, a French tourist, stays at a hotel in San Francisco and pays $400 for it with her debit card issued by a French bank. <u>DEBIT FINANCIAL ACCOUNT. CREDIT CURRENT ACCOUNT. </u>
The Financial account should be debited to show that currency is coming into the U.S. from outside the country and current account should be credited for services rendered.
A U.S. computer manufacturer purchases hard drives from a Korean company, paying the funds from its bank account in Korea. <u>DEBIT CURRENT ACCOUNT. CREDIT FINANCIAL ACCOUNT. </u>
Current account should be debited to reflect that goods are coming into the country but the financial account should be credited to show that currency is leaving the ownership of an American entity so it is passing out of American hands.

No matter how well thought, calculated and recalculated your budget is, it usually only serve as a parameter. The fact that budgeting is not exact is not always bad, since your business sales can be higher than expected, so your whole production and costs budgets will be wrong, but for a good reason.
That is why budgets must always be flexible and easily adaptable to changes, either good or bad changes.
