Hi everybody,

My query is while finalising the accounts for 2010-2011, we had created provisions for audit and return filing charges at25,000.00, and the balances were carried forward to 2011-2012. Now the situation is the Audit and Return filling charges have actually billed for62,000.00.

I would like to know, how I can make entry of the Bills of62,000.00 and the its payment. How the provisions shown at the end of the year 2010-2011 will be adjusted against bills of Rs. 62,000.00.

Thanks in Advance.

Hey friends, Prior Period expense arises as a result of errors or omissions to record the transaction in one or more financial years. However, in the current case, it is not a prior period expense
All the provisions are accounting estimates and difference arising beacuse of wrong accounting estimate does not qualify as a prior period expense. It is an expense relating to the previous year but not a prior period expense with regard to AS-5. The entry should be:

Professional Fees A/c Dr. 37000
Provision for Expenses A/c Dr. 25000
To, TDS Payable A/c 6200
To, Bank A/c 55800

I agree with Jitesh..

The effect of a change in an accounting estimate shall be recognised prospectively and not retrospectively as per the Accounting Standards.

Professional Fees A/c Dr.                             37000
Provision for Professional Expenses A/c Dr. 25000
To, TDS Payable A/c                                6200
To, Bank A/c                               55800
