The point of time of accrual of liability to the company is to be identified first. If it is the practice of the company to consider the liablity only on submission of bills by the employee the liability accrues to the company on submission of bills by the employee.Then we must follow fundmental accounting assumption i.e. accrual in April only. Otherwise strictly make a provision for the expenditure incurred by the employee upto 31st March on a reasonable estimate basis

All expenses till the year end date has to be recorded.
