14 October 2011 The Trust does not have ownership of Land. It belongs to another trust. But the Trust has spent Lacs of Rupees on Consruction on that Land. Amount spent on construction over that land is shown as revenue expenditure.
My question is what is the duty of Chartered Accountant in such a case. How to acount for such expenditure.

18 October 2011 The structure made on the land should be capitalized over the period of the right to use the land as 'Leasehold Improvements' or 'Building' based on the type of structure.

If it is temporary in nature and will be demolished in near future (less than 12 months), it should be expensed out in the Income and Expenditure Account.

It is not clear from the query whether the trust has taken the land on lease from the other trust or the other trust has given the consent in writing to use the land.
