How to Calculate Exchange Fluctuation on Foreign Currency Account (Ex. EEFC)? As I understand it, rate at which the transactions are made during the year should be compared with the reinstated rate at the beginning of the year and exchange differences should be arrived. At the every year end, it should be reinstated at the closing rate. Am I right? If not, then how?

you are correct. The exchange fluctuation between the revalued rate & the exchange rate prevailing at the end of the year. This treated as exchange fluctuation expenses / gain

Thanks for the reply. But, we have to account also for the exchange difference for the transaction made during the year also by comparing the spot rate with reinstated value at the beginning of the year. Correct?
