Dear Vijay,

There is only way to account for the bill is to obtain the duplicate copy of that bill. if p[arty does nt provide it hard copy, request them to provide the scan copy of it, otherwise u hv to make reverse entry in your books. as per my knowledge a party hav more than 2 copies of a particular bills. So, try to arrange it.........

regards,

ratan

He will have to give you a duplicate copy of bill otherwise you can simply tell him to take his STABLIZER back and refund your money.He will definately arrange the bill

Hi Vijay

This is not a matter of greater worry for audit purpose as stablizer is not a very costly equipment for proof u just demand the photocopy or scan copy from the dealer purchase and get it stamp from dealer with his company stamp that will be enough.

Hi Vijay

This stablizer is not a very costly equipment for proof u just demand the triplicate copy of invoice from the dealer , every dealer hv invoiceing in triplicate so u get it and stamp from dealer with his company stamp that will be enough for audit purpose or accounts purpose.

thanks

You have the following options before you:

1. You can request the seller to give a photocopy of his Purchase registry entry/bill for your sake and then get it certified as duplicate copy for your audit purpose sake.Im sure he would oblige.

2. You can request another copy of the bill and if he is willing to do,you can mention it as a duplicate bill(and quote reason:Here it is "Bill missing/lost"

3. Since according to audit materiality,this item is a low-cost item,you can ignore it.

------------

Notes: If you however,threaten him to take back the stabilizer if he does not supply you a duplicate bill,it might work against you as you have no locusstandi to prove that he sold you the Stabilizer.So, it wont hold good in the court of law or even in a consumer court.

There is no need to reverse entries,infact doing such things is not advisable because as per Accounting principles/concepts,we have to account for everything we have spent/recieve or promise to spend/recieve(accrual concept) and accounting entries dont keep auditing in mind when entries are being made.

Auditing is primarily a post-mortem job and a future event.You have to reverse entry legally and technically only if there is an error in primal or inchoatory entry.
