I am a multinational corporation which means I conduct transactions in both Australia, the UK and the USA. My accountant has advised me to report transactions in the local currency. What would you say to this business owner and why?

You should report transactions in a single currency. This means converting to the chosen currency at a given exchange rate and using these figures. This is the basis of the Monetary assumption.

You should choose a currency which allows local users of accounting reports to understand the business. Accountants can use their judgement (be subjective) when reporting in businesses like this.

There is no guidelines for this scenario. Your accountant is probably right.
