it is true that the items in the trial balance of foreign branch should be converted into the currency of the head office[as per guidelines for translating foreign currency into head office currency(to be read with AS-11)]. at that case depreciation on fixed assets should be converted at the same rate at which the converted fixed asset is converted and is directly debited to profit & loss a/c.
