Sir
As per AS 26, Intangible Assets, Preliminary Expenses incurred by entity should be written off as soon as it is incurred. So,does it mean that we have to prepare profit & loss A/c for the periods before the entity comes into Existence ?
How can be this done ? Please Clarify bcoz we usually don't prepare such P/l A/c & write off preliminary Exp. in 5 years from the year the entity come into existence.

According to me, the reason behind this could be Income Tax Act.
Entities write off preliminary Exp. in 5 years as per Income tax act & not as per AS 26, which is a wrong practice.
But on the other side question arises that how can a P/l A/c can be prepared without entity coming into existance ?
