Closure of accounts

Dear All,

 

I have a doubt regarding the expense to be account. I have received telephone bill for the period of march'18 (1st to 31st March'18) but bill date is April 1st 2018.

Please advise for which FY we need to consider the expense. And in which Fy I need to book the expense.

 

With Advance thanks

Account as per bill date...

Thank you sir.

If accounts are maintained on accrual basis then same bill is accounted in F.Y. 2017-18 even if date of bill is 01 April
If you accounts on cash basis then so accounting on date of bill.

In case of Accrual Basis of Accounting

You need to make a Provision for Telephone Expense in F/Y 2017-18 and Reverse that Provision in F/Y 2018-19.

As Period of Telephone Bill Relates to F/Y 2017-18 i.e; on 1/04/2018 ( Date of receiving Telephone Bill ).

In case of Cash Basis Accounting

Record as on 01.04.2018 ( Date of receiving Telephone Bill ).

book the expenses in FY 17-18, i.e. acrrual basis, and show the last bill amount as outstanding expenses, under current liabilities, and charge to p & l accouny
