29 August 2010 Respected All,

In the F.Y. 08-09, a company wrongly treated deffered tax asset as a deffered tax liability in accounts.

How will the company rectify this mistake in the Balance sheet of 09-10.

Please explain the disclosures to be made in the Balance sheet and entries to be made in accounts.

Regards
Jyoti
