hi experts, one of my client has started his new manufacturing unit... now first balance sheet and P& L is to be audited....
the situation is GP can be calculated only after calculating Closing Stock. and Closing Stock (R.M.+Finished stock + Semi finished stock)can be calculated only after deriving Gross profit due to having some extent of G.P. in Finished and Semi Finished Stock..
