Provision for audit fees

05 October 2016

Hello Friends,

My company has made provision towards Audit Fees for Rs. 10 lacs in financial year 2015-16. Entry passed was Audit Fees Dr. and Provision for Audit Fees Cr. In the computation of 2015-16, the provision amount has been disallowed and added back in profit and loss.

Now in 2016-17 we received bill from auditors for Rs. 12 lacs towards Audit fees. I am having confusion what entry is required to be passed now to close the provision and book the expense.

Thank you.

I agree with Mr Sanjeet kumar & book entries.

It shouldn't disallow. But TDS deduction with accurate ℅ & TDS deposit should be in timeline

TDS has not been deducted and it would be deducted in 2016-17 as the provision was made late and TDS payment due date had already passed.

Hi,

30% on audit fees provision will be disallowed in FY 2015-16. In FY 2016-17 you have received a invoice towards professional charges for Rs. 12 lacs which means in FY 2015 -16 you have made short provision.

Find below the accounting entry in FY 2016-17.

Audit fees ( P&L) Dr 2,00,000/-

Provision for audit fees (B/s) Dr 10,00,000/-

TDS payable ( B/s) Cr 1,20,000/-

Audit fee payable (B/s) Cr 10,80,000/-

If you need any further clarification please let me know.

Thanks.
