28 April 2016 Hello everyone,

Please help me out
I have one Query; while accounting of Foreign exchange gain or loss on Foreign cash and cash equivalent what is the correct treatment

say at the end of the month I have $50 in my bank account and reporting currency is INR so whatever gain or loss arises according to exchange rate at the month end, whether it would be our realized gain or loss OR unrealized, as if it is realized gain or loss then we will not reverse it in next month , but if it is Unrealized then we will pass a reversal entry at the beginning of the month,

please let me know the correct treatment as in my company for some countries they are reversing it and for some they are not passing reversal entry.
