22 August 2009 There is a company where the name was approved by the ROC and the director of the company incurred expenses in the approved name but before the date of incorporation of the company. What will be the treatment of the said expenses? Show we debit in the profit & loss a/c or be capitalised as goodwill or some other place.

24 August 2009 after AS 26 come into existance no preliminary expenses are allowed to be capitalised and needs to be charged off immediately to profit and loss account.
