The objective of AS 11, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, is to decide which exchange rate to use in accounting for foreign currency transactions and foreign operations and how to recognise in the financial statements the financial effect of changes in exchange rates. An enterprise may carry on activities involving foreign exchange in two ways. It may have transactions in foreign currencies or it may have foreign operations. In order to include foreign currency transactions and foreign operations in the financial statements of an enterprise, transactions must be expressed in the enterprise’s reporting currency and the financial statements of foreign operations must be translated into the enterprise’s reporting currency. This Standard also deals with accounting for foreign currency transactions in the nature of forward exchange contracts.
As per the stipulation of this standard, an entity must comply with the below-mentioned disclosure requirements:
I. The entity shall disclose the following:
(i) The number of exchange differences included in the net profit or loss for the period in accordance with AS 11
