I m an Auditor for a Society which is running Educational Institutions, There is uncertainity of Incomes, as the Students wont pay their Fee as and when it is Due. Thus considering the concept of Prudence, can i suggest to Account Receipts on Cash Basis and Expenses on Accrual basis??

To get Exemption U/s.12A, entity has to apply 85% of the receipts for charitable purpose. Thus if the organisation doesn't receive real Income in cash and Accrual entry is passed for Student fee receivable, from where should it satisy the 85% condition??

Early clarification is highly appreciated. Thank you
