15 March 2013 Sir,

Management says the auditor to written back the creditors under Section 41 of IT Act, 1961 and take that amount in P&L A/c in that case is it responsibility of CA to take written representation of the same from the management?

16 March 2013 First of all; an auditor is not in a position of an accountant that he should follow the instructions of the management.
.
While conducting the audit; if the auditor verifies that a liability is long outstanding; it means it is no more payable.
.
In such situation; the management is right to write back the amount and credit the same to the profit and loss account.
.
No written explanations are required for such transactions.

17 July 2013 To write back the creditor you have to take a resolution and account for by writing back the creditors u/s 41 of the IT Act. The auditor will not raise any objection but he can simply put a note that creditors and debtors balance are not confirmed by the parties.

You can do so and transfer the amount of creditors to P & L A/c under the head liabilities written back
