This discussion addresses how to rectify accounting errors where a fixed asset was sold but not recorded in the books. The proposed solution involves passing a rectification journal entry in the current year to correct the discrepancy. The suggested entry debits fixed assets, credits accumulated depreciation, and credits the asset write-off.

Can we make reverse entry of fixed assets which was not recorded in our books but wrongly recorded in books when sold and make profit. Suppose we bought a AC but not booked it in books but when we sold it we recorded its accumulated depreciation and fixed assets. Now there is a difference of actual assets and books recorded assets. How can treat it.
