22 June 2010 Expenses are already incurred and bills are received and liablity created, but the provisons already work has completed and expenses incurred but the bills are not received so provision need to be created

Income tax expenses already paid and provison is based on the estimate we will provided for the period

Bas debts already we knew the amount will not come and written off bu provision is we will create except the for the future
