As per sec 35D expenditure incurred before the commencement of his business can be possible to treat as preliminary exp.
In your case CA fees can be treated as feasibility report or project report.
Than this amount should be write off on 5 successive years.

As per the Latest Companie act 2013 All Preliminary Expenenses Should be Writeoff 100 % in same Year. However 1/5 Can be Claimed as per Income tax Act  u/s 35D

Hello,

For passing journal entry, just pass entry as:

Preliminary exp dr.

to loan from director's 

In narration mention that the expense pertain to Auditor's fee for reports. 

Also see to the fact that these expense will attract deferred tax, as treatment in books and tax will defer.

Then for next five yrs pass entry as:

Preliminary exp written off
