25 July 2008 Sir,

I am doing the internal audit of a listed company. It has to go for qtrly publication.

1)I want to know whether deferred tax asset/deferred tax liability should be calculated on a quarterly basis or yearly basis?
2) Can recognizing the deferred tax at the year end (31 march) instead of recognizing it in the P& L a/c for quarter end(30june, 30sept, 31st dec) amounts to non-compliance of AS 22 ?

Plz elaborate
