Client's bank account closed 25/4/06 still owes 4000 to creditors. Formed Ltd 1/3/06. My question is about the balance sheet. Should it show the position as at 28/2/06 when he stopped trading and started to work through the LTD, if so what happens to all the entries that follow to clear the creditors/debtors/assets?

Also, if anybody could recommend a book/reference material on the accounting treatment for cessation of an entity it would be greatly appreciated

    If I remember correctly, everything should go through a revaluation account with the balance showing as a loan to the company. The reverse is shown in the company accounts with the balance shown as a loan to the company. All Fixed assets should be passed to the new company at Tax Written Down Values to avoid tax complications.
