preliminary expenses are incurred for the incorporation of the company hence it must be charged to post incorporation period, where as audit fee do not correspond with sales volume it must be charged on time basis. There is a view that audit becomes compulsary only after incorporation of company so it must be charged only to post incorporation period but audit fees is paid for the audit of the accountsof the entire period hence the audit fee must be charged to both pre and post incorporation period on time basis.
