08 January 2020 Thank You Sir For Your Prompt Replay

Let's Put at this way
Suppose i am doing audit of a particular Trust for F.Y 15-16, (Previous Year Audit is Conducted by other Auditor), while checking the Last Trust Audit Report, it's clear that Grant Income is book on Receipt Basis only. And Expenses is book on accrual basis (Bank Balance is not match with actual closing balance as per Bank Statement).

Query
1. What to do for Diff. in Bank Balance
2. For Cheque which is issued on 31st March and clear in April Month

Please Clarify
Thank You

08 January 2020 Can we follow Hybrid Accounting Policy?

No Information/Data is available with me for last year. I am only Available with Last Year trust Audit Report.
And From Audit Report it's clear that Hybrid Accounting System is follow. (Expenses is book on accrual basis and income on receipt basis)
