Accounting status of stale cheque

5661 views 5 replies

Dear Friends,

The accountant of a client company issued a cheque to a creditor in the last F.Y. 2011-2012 but it has not been paid till date and has remained with the client company as on 31.03.2013. However, the accountant passed the relevant entry in the bank book of the client for issue of cheque in the F.Y. 20111-12. The B.R.S. has also been prepared accordingly.

What will be the accounting treatment of the above and how will the entire event be presented in the Final Accounts of the client company for the year ended 31st. March, 2013 ?

Please, if somebody can reply urgently.

Thanking  you and with best regards.

you need to just reverse the entry and the amount will not stand in BRS and consequently the creditors balance would increase

Yes, you can go as above,

just pass the reverse entry for bank payment entry

reverse the entry & reco both entries.

Hi Sumanta

No need to reverse the entry... Just create a Ledger called Stale Cheque under Current Liability. Now Debit bank & credit Stale cheque.Which does not reflect in your bank reco & u can trace out the exact stale cheque payments which might be paid at further date.Simply reversing the entry may be right...

Thanx

 

A big thanks to all of you.
