Dear all,

Can you share me the international auditing standard document. Thanks

Danella,I double checked after the comment below, and I agree with Hemant. IAS 21.28 explicitly states that gains/losses on forex should be recognized in P&L. The forex is not attributable to the asset but to the financial liability.http://www.ifac.org/IAASB/
My apologies for my earlier answer.

Dear all,
I cannot find how can I book the fx loss, gain into profit and loss

categories should be:
Interest income
Interest expense
Foreign currency gains (losses)
Net financial results = sum
