Company's are supposed to maintain accounts mandatorily under accrual
system. Accordingly bills are to be accounted on the day it is raised against foreign client on the exchange rate prevailing on the bill date. When money is received difference between booked amount and amount received may be accounted through exchange rate diference a/c and may be routed through the p&l a/c while finalising the a/cs.

But the company's contention is that whatever actually received is treated by revenue and there is no difference in the exchange rate at all.

X Limited should book on the basis of timesheets maintained by employee of X limited. So cut-off procedure is also importanat as on date of year ending.
As regards to exchange rate, it should adopt the selling TT rate as on which booking will be done on accrual basis. Advance should be adjusted against such booking & difference should be treated as forex fluctuation as per AS-11
