Quick Summary
This discussion explains how to create provisional accounting entries for expenses where invoices haven't been received yet. It covers common examples like audit fees, travel expenses, and electricity bills. The method involves debiting the expense account and crediting a 'payable' or 'provision' account, with adjustments made once the actual expense is finalised.

Provisional entries

1) Audit/Accounting fee Dr

To Audit/Accounting fee payable (or provision for audit/accounting fee)

To TDS

2) Travelling Exps Dr

To Travelling Exps payable

3) Electricity Expenses Dr

To Electricity Expenses Payable

When the actual expense is being accounted, credit the provision account and debit bank/cash. Difference if any can be debited/credited to the respective expense account.

Thanks Poornima Madam.
