24 December 2011 Reversal is not required. On receipt of actual payment, the difference ,if any, arises , has to be transferred to FE Fluctuation A/c.

Thank u for the reply,
But Pls Explain whether the profit or loss that arises on FE Fluctuation wont be contingent Profit/Loss? since such profit/Loss is not crystallised but is only transferred for reporting purpose only

24 December 2011 Reporting the financial statements to the extent these show true and fair view of the affairs of the company on the Balance sheet date , is the prime motive behind this whole exercise.
.
Once the policies are followed consistently
the ultimate result would be one and the same.
.
Example- Valuation of closing stock...
Stock is valued by following any method but it can not be said that the valuation so arrived does not contain any element of profit or loss. The real profit can be arrived only when the inventory is zero.
But for a going concern it is not possible to have zero inventory. The problem finds its solution by adopting a recognised valuation method consistently.
