It is a wrong not to pass an entry for loss of goods by flooding or any other peril. You have to pass that entry. In that loss account, you can credit insurance claim if any admitted.

Dear SS,is it correct to include the profit element in the entry, because Rs.20 lacs is the MRP of the goods not the cost.Can you examine the Accounting Standard on Revenue Recognition in this aspect.Thanks for the answer.
