Meaning
prior period items are income or expenses, which arise, in the current period as a
result of errors or omission in the preparation of financial statements of one or more prior periods.
Accounting Treatment
As per para 19 of AS 5, prior period items are normally included in determination of net profit or loss for the current profit,
they can be added (or deducted as the case may be) from the current
profit.
An alternative approach is to
show such items in the statement of profit or loss after determination of current net profit or loss.
Conclution
In either case, the objective is to indicate the effect of
such items on the current profit or loss

Prior period exp. are diallowed in Income tax. As per section 37, exp. should be incurred in current year.

It can be allowed in the year in which exp was actually incurred by way of revised return.

Suppose an exp. is incurred in F.Y. 2010-11 and it was omitted and not recorded in that year. And you record it in 2011-12, then exp. can be allowed in the year 2010-11 return.
