03 May 2014 as such, if your client considers the stock as inventory, he should value the closing inventory at cost of market value whichever is lower. so marked to market, if any, should be ignored.

the accounting practice you are referring to is followed my mutual funds etc. in such accounting, any marked to market profit or gains is reversed next year.
