This query is : Resolved
20 December 2014
Dear Sir/Madam,
I have came across a query during audit regarding which I wants to take an opinion.
My question is:-
When we are dealing with the party which is our Debtor as well as Creditor, then whether we can set off the balance of Debtors against Creditors or vice versa?
Please reply as early as possible.
Thanking you,
Prachetas
