Budget Report in Multiple Currencies.

Running Gnucash 2.4.8 on Mac OS Lion.  Finance::Quote is installed.  

I keep books for an S Corp that has income in USD and NZD.  All my expenses are tracked in USD.

I have a simple budget report to track monthly income and expenses.  I have a couple income accounts in NZD.  When these accounts are converted to USD for the Income total, the Budget Report seems to pick a conversion out of the air that is roughly the inverse of the conversion of NZD to USD.  Does anyone know what the Budget Report does for currency conversion?  Anyway to control this?  I'm not really looking for an *exact* conversion, whatever that would be.  It is a complicated thing figuring actual income, because the currency conversion happens when I perform the international fund transfer, not when the income is earned.  And NZD to USD is quite volatile.  I'm just looking for a ballpark number for the report.

Thanks,
Dave
