13 February 2013 A company makes payment to its creditors only against original invoice. The accountant of the company has lost the original invoice. The creditor says he cannot generate another ORIGIANAL INVOICE. There is pressure from creditor on accountant to settle the outstanding amount.

What is the way forward in this case? The solution given should also be acceptable by company auditors and practicable.

Thanks.

13 February 2013 Communicate to the Creditor through e-mail and ask for the duplicate bill by giving the reason of Original bill being misplaced. They will probably give the duplicate bill and even if they don't give then in that case the reply of this mail would be sufficient for Audit purpose as well if the mail is sent from the concerned authority from his company's e-mail ID.
