Insurance claim accounting
How Insurance Claim should be accounting if lodgement and Receipt are in 2 different Financial Years. For Example:
Assets worth WDV of Rs 100 are damaged with zero realisable value in FY 2015-16. Insurance company agrees to settle losses but the payment was done in FY 2016-17. Can Insurance claim be accounted on accrual basis in FY 2015-16?

Jounal enry in the financial year 2016-17
Debit bank a/c and credit insurance co.
journal entrie inF.Y 2015-16 should only be made if there is reasonable certainty for the reciept of sum and also the quantum of the sum. if these data are not available i would prefer not to make a provision for F.Y 2015-16 rather i will consider this as a prior period item in F.Y 2016-17. if there is reasonable certainty then only i will make entries in F.Y 2015-16
