The only way is to demonstrate that due to justifiable reasons the provision could not be made.

Mr. Srinivasaraghavan is right. It can further be elaborated that the expenses were not quantifiable with certainty as on the date of Balance Sheet date and the same could only be ascertained thereafter.

yes,as per accounting standard -5, you can allow prior period expenses in subsequent periods, but proper disclosure by way of notes to accounts is manadatory.

mr.srinivas is right ,as prior period expenses arise due to omission of items at the time of preparion of Finanacial Stmt.sd it has to be disclosed as per As-5 ,under the line of P& L A/c
