Suppose some expenses like Rent Expenses, Audit fees and Telephone expenses relating to the year 2006-07 are not provided in the books. These expenses are subsequently paid in the current year 2007-08. Therefore they will not be deductible during the assessment of the accounting year 2006-07.
This is as per the practice followed by the assessing authorities.

Assessment of income of one year is independent from other year. For assessment of income, profit arrived as per the books of account of the concerned year is taken as basis. The profit of a particular year is dependent upon the method of accounting followed. Any expendiute incurred as per the method of accounting followed in any year charged to the profit and loss account of future years is called prior period item for the year in which such expenditure is charged to the P & L a/c. Such expenditure is admissable only in the year in which it is incurred as per the method of accounting employed i.e. accrual or cash method.

In the example given by me the cited expenses will not be deductible in the assessment of the accounting year 2007-08 also being not pertaiing to that year.
The reason is simple logic and generic principle of accrual accounting.
In the year 2006-07 it will be disallowed as not provided in the books though it pertains to the same year. And in 2007-08 it will be disallowed because it does not pertain to that year though paid in that year.
