Provision / direct write-off of preceding year - thehawk - 02-18-2011
Dear members,
Aslam-o-alikum!
Hope you all will be fine. I need help in matter summarised as under.
A company has a closed his financial year with a qualified audited report that balances are doubtful and required to be provided / written-offf on the basis of direct confirmations by the parties. In the current year Company has decided to write-off the preceding year's balance by restating the comparitive figures. Can it do this? Is it a prior period error under IAS-8?
Regards,
