We have a client who runs a resort. Until January 2012 it was a proprietor ship, however from Feb 2012 it has been converted into a private limited company. So, during last financial year end, it was a private limited company
The company's balance sheet(as filed with IT) is drafted in such a way that, all the transactions and fixed assets until Jan 2012 are shown under the balance sheet of the proprietor firm, and transactions of Feb and March are shown under Pvt Limited company. Is this the right approach ? Shouldn't this be consolidated into one single B/s last year itself ?
One more clarification we have is when we do accounting for FY 2012-2013, how do we take the opening balances. Is it only from the private limited company or from the proprietorship firm too ?
