hello sir
we have asked the company to confirm debtors and creditors balance externally but they said that they will send confirmations after finalization of accounts and now difference is found between balance externally confirmed by parties and it is material.....what effect we can give of this in accounts? ?

First confirm why the differences having reasons for difference and decide is the mistake is in the side of the company or from the side of the parties means it is companies mistake or parties mistake then we decide what we do.
However as on auditor if auditor feels confirmation of balances from parties then must and should be he get such confirmation before to completion of audit(means issuing of audit report) or he has to issue audit report by qualifying as "we issued audit report subject to the external confirmation of the parties balances".
So first make an excise what is differences and the who committed the mistake then we decide what to do.
