26 April 2011 Dear Sir,
my company is manufacturing co. and exporting its product to various countries. Co gets advance licence on which co. imports it raw material and then export.The accounting followed is that when import is done license expenses are debited in Profit and loss and credited to advance licence on hand account and when export is done incentives are booked as part of sales and advance licence is debited.My query is whether this accounting is proper or incentives or obligation should not be booked as it is contingent liability. please suggest me if any other method can be adopted as it is affecting profits of the company?What does accounting standard says?please it is urgent. thanking you in advance.
