27 February 2017 Dear Experts, One of my Accountant friend had missed to make an entry of Sales return in the books of accounts in FY 2015-16 hence income tax was paid on that Sales return value also. Goods were returned last year only. Can the entry of Goods return be made this FY 2016-17 as it was missed to be entered last year or should it be shown as bad debts? Your early reply will be highly appreciated

28 February 2017 Thank you for good reply. Can it be shown as Goods returned in current year? Also prior period item should appear separately in profit and loss account or can we club it with current year? Is it required to be mentioned separately in the audit report?

28 February 2017 Kindly go through Accounting Standard - 5 for all your queries. Prior period items can be shown but separate disclosure and impact on the financial statement is required.
