07 September 2009 A company has been newly incorporated in India which, in the previous year has not commenced it's operations. Since operations have not yet begun, a P & L A/C needn't be prepared.

Please quote relevant sections in this regard.

07 September 2009 Can you please be more precise.

07 September 2009 No need to prepare P&L a/c, we have to prepare Statement of Expenditure.

This statement of expenditure contains Preliminary expenses and Pre operative expenses seperately.

These have to be shown in B/S under Misc. expenses.
