Such creditors should be written off in the books.
As and when it is confirmed that payment will not be required to be made to a creditor at that point a special item should be introduced in the p&l and creditor should be debited.
Special item is required so that no confusion arises among gross margin comparatives...
The entry should have been to Debit the creditor and to credit the p&l.
This item being in the favour of the entity there lies no necessity to point out this issue in the Audit report.. The entity should be informed that they should write about this factor in Notes To Accounts till the date they pass the above given entry.
