A company is receiving Foregn Currency ,in respect of Sales Made to Its Overseas Customers, in its Foreign Currency Bank Account in india and discharging its liabilities in foreign currency out of the same account. The company is not booking any exchange fluctuation on the ground that it is recieving all its debts in Foreign Currency in this account which is used for further payments in foreign currency. The question is whether the company should book its exchange loss/profit as per AS-11.
