Is reversal entry permitted

Quick Summary
This discussion explores the permissibility of using reversal entries in accounting, as opposed to deleting or modifying existing entries, under the Companies Act. While the Act itself doesn't explicitly detail reversal transactions, it's suggested that such practices can be considered part of internal control mechanisms. The conversation highlights that some accounting software may not allow direct modification or deletion, making reversal or rectification entries a necessary alternative. Ultimately, the consensus leans towards the acceptance of reversal entries as a valid accounting procedure, particularly when dictated by software limitations or internal controls, though it's advisable to consult with auditors for definitive guidance.

Okk, @ CA Surya Sekar , some software not allowed modification of entries, in that case you need to make rectification or reversal entry only. Same is permitted

Internal controls are again controlled by auditing standards.
