My query is regarding erroneous understating of closing stock in FY 2009-10. The assessee got his BOA audited u/s 44AB, but neither the CA nor the assessee could find that error in which his closing stock was taken short by Rs.190,000. His that year's stock statement shows the following figures:
His op St was 260000 Purchases 135000 Sales 75000 Cl st shown 130000 (it shud hv been 320000)
Now during his assessment in sales tax dept. this error has come out, and he wants to know what can be done?? We cannot revise his income tax return, nor we can show different figures in income tax dept and sales tax dept.
Plz advise what shud we do to avoid adverse consequences???

Treat it as prior period item as peraccounting standard 5. Provide enough disclosures on face of profit and loss account and also in noted to accounts. It qualifies as prior period since there was an error or omission of an item on prior periods which was detected know and has an effect currently.

Do you think it's ok.? its certainly not, but you need to convince them and I don't require you to tell hoe do we convince department ppl. If this error is material simply file revise returns every where
