Quick Summary
This discussion addresses whether prior period entries can be made in proprietor accounts, particularly when Capex items were expensed in a previous financial year. The advice given is that if Accounting Standard 5 (AS 5) permits, such entries can be made in the current financial year. It's important to note that these entries must be shown separately in the Profit and Loss account, and there might be implications for income tax deductions.

If AS 5 ( Accounting standard) is applicable and permits, then you Can make prior period expenses entry in the Current period, You have to show separately in Profit and Loss account ( Check AS5)

Entries as follows.

( Transfer entry to P&,L A/c )
