How do we deal with pre - operational expenses of a company.

One of my clients had incorporated a business in 2005 but they started commercial production in 2011-12.In the mean time they have incurred many expenses twds salaries,Printing & stationery ,Travelling and other regular expenses.

My query is how we deal with above mentioned expenditure.

Is there any institute guidence material explaning on above situation.

Actual expenses incured before commencement of business can be charged as pre-operating expenses to the profit & loss account.

R u sure? I heard we should capitalise those expenses in the year in which we commence business

it should be written off in the year of production as per revised AS-26. There is no concept of defferement of revenue expenditure now.

 

Please  explain me in details
