Hi Suresh,
When you create a G/L account it is possible to fill in the field  Alternative account number (see the help).
When you want you can assign this to the countries own chart of account and report on this.
In this case I advise you to use one chart of accounts and use Alternative account number for reporting by country.
Now it is possible to use one controling area. This is use-full when you want to make total reports over the company codes.
In controlling you store document currency, company currency and controlling area currency. It is possible to use paralel currencies.
When you are doing settlement to an other companie code's it will create an inter company posting. But it is possible with the exchange rates that you have results you don't want

Alternative account number in company code
The alternative account number field in the company code area is freely definable. You could use it to enter:
the account number from your legacy system or
the account number from a country chart of accounts if your corporate group uses a standard chart of accounts.
The alternative account number is only issued in the financial statement if you explicitly assign it to the relevant items in the financial statement version.
