Prior Period Expense

Dear Experts,

I'm a Accountant of company. I have recieved around 70 invoices of of FY 2019-2020 for which I had booked provison for 20 invoices in March 2020 and for remaining there is no provison also in books.

Can someone suggest how to record 20 and 50 invoices.

what procedure I should ask to record the expense ?

Sincerely,

Quick Summary
An accountant needs guidance on how to record 70 invoices from FY 2019-2020. Some had provisions made in March 2020, while others did not. The advice given is to book all new expenses under 'Prior period expenses' and any differences for provisioned invoices also under 'Prior period expenses'. The accountant is also seeking clarification on whether auditors would qualify such entries.

Book all the expenses under the broad head of Prior period expenses in case of 50 extra invoice.

For those invoice where provision was made book the differential value under prior period expenses. 

Correct noted, Does auditor qualify this ?
