22 August 2012 The Audit is conducted after the year end, after 3 or 4 months & bill is given thereafter by CA Firm.
However, provison for expenses is made & P & L is debited with expense.
TDS has to be made at the time of payment & Auditor will take TDS credit for the next year only, as he books the Income on cash basis in the subsequent year after Audit.
How to resolve TDS issue ??

What is the view , kindly render detailed opinion.....
