Thank you both, yes I will need to enquire further to see if this part was infact a repair or improvement.

Thank you DJKL

He has lived on the croft all his life, he's now in his 70's.

Thank you both. Yes I am going to put my hands up as it was my mistake at the end of the day.... The previous accountant had to be chased a number of times by both myself and the client before I received any handover papers so I had to make do with what I had. Although I didnt ask the client about losses either.

I'm dreading telling my client. I'm guessing he is going to have to pay over £5,000 that he received back between this year and last year... :(

Thank you. Yes my only problem being that he has been on the cash basis all along, it's just the program is on the wrong setting. So reconciling the previous period will file vat that isn't due to be filed yet as hasn't been paid. The only way of doing it I thought would be to delete all the outstanding Pl and Sleep invoices, but there are so many of them! I'd need to raise them all again. Nightmare...

Thanks for your reply, please bear in mind that they are getting all there bookkeeping and monthly bank reconciliations done by me which h they did not get from their previous accountants.
