Should unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses be reversed in the following year?
Yes, unrealised gain/ (loss) should be reversed in the following year to bring the balances to original/ historical amounts. Subsequently, at the time of settlement of a liability/ collection of a receivable, the actual/ realised gain/ (loss) is booked in the year in which it incurred. When you track unrealized gains and losses, you make an entry for the current month, then reverse the entry you made in the previous month. It's important that you remember to reverse the previous month's entry; if you don't, gain and loss amounts for future months will be inaccurate.
