How to account previous year expenses? Do we need to show as prior period or can we account under concerned a/c ? What AS says ?

As per AS=5, expenses for the period & income for the period is charged or credited to PL account if it is due to error & omission it is prior period adjustment & its effect required bcoz of tax purpose. In income tax those expenses are not allowed as deduction.
