26 July 2013Dear All,
One of our company has not filled its annual return (ROC) for last 3 years. In the current year it has filled all the three returns. In our account books we have not created any provision towards certification fee of the forms and ROC fee.
Kindly advice wether these ROC expenses are treated as prior period expenses in this current year.
Regards,

Dear Vivek,
Prior period items are income or expenses which arise in the Current period as a result of errors or ommissions in the preparation of financial statements of one or more periods(AS-5). In the case of this company it has not filed Annual return with ROC for past 3 years&It filed in the current year.It is an error from the part of company.So ROC fee can be treated as PRIOR PERIOD expenses and can be debited to profit&loss account accordingly.

As per my understanding ROC filing are required when the AGM is being held. FY 2012-13 the AGM will held on September 2013 and filing will be made on October 2013/November 2013 so the filing expenses for AGM held in the month of Septmeber 2013 will become the part of expenses of FY 2013-14.
