10 September 2009 Hi All,

Please provide me some feedback on treating Work in progress.

A software company subsidiary of foreign company (100% foreign share holding) got incorporated in October and started operations in November. Till year ending March 2009 there has been no billing to parent because the software development (project development) has not been completed. During finalization of accounts can we treat the expneses incurred as Work in progress?

Share capital amount has been utilized for the expenses from october till March.

thanks,
harsha
