04 June 2011 hi...

nowadays i am doing audit of a publishing house, & while vouching the purchases i found various expenses under the head purchases
e.g book binding expenses, royalty payments etc.

is this right to book these expenses under the head Purchases.
my CA is ok with this.... but i am not.

06 June 2011 I think as u mentioned binding and royalty exp. Is not directly atributable to purchase , these are operational expense so required to be charged to profit not purchase....members opinion are invited..
