11 January 2011 what is the exact difference between Provision for expenses & Expenses Payables?

Pls Explain following Also

2)Provision for Audit Fee ?

11 January 2011 Nature-wise both are same but

2.> Provision for Audit Fee is just a provision which may or may not differ on actual receipt of bills. So its just a provision made by you to book the exp, for which you have not recd any bills, but it pertains to the current period.
