Dear Members,

I had an argument with my Auditors saying that Capital Work in Progress is only when some capital expenditure is incurred for some unfinished capital work, like a room under construction or a machinery under installation.

If i have issued an advance for a fridge or TV then this can not be termed as capital work in Progress.

Am I Right - Which accounting standard / Guidence note would throw proper light on the above.
