Payment of provision for expenses

A/c entries 1749 views 14 replies

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.

Entry will be

Provision of audit fee A/c      Dr  25000

Audit Fee/ professional exp  Dr. 37000

                          To Bank A/c                         62000

 

 

On creation of provision you would ve done the following

Audit fee Dr              25000

  To outstanding expenses      25000

Now during the year after u receive the actual bill

Audit fee Dr               37000

Outstanding exp Dr  25000

   To the Party i.e. Auditor s A/c   62000

 

Then u make payment

Because that expense relate to the previous year which resulted deu to an error or ommission..as per AS -5.

frnd,

In my opinion the entry for it should be as follows :

Provision for expenses A/c                     Dr.            25000

Prior Period exp. A/c                                Dr.           37000

   TO Bank A/c                                            Cr.                             62000

(without considering TDS)            

Agreed with Adithya

What is deffer Tax & how to work out? Pls help....

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
