    Hi BigSprings 

     

    Thanks for your post. How you allocate these expenses depends on the reporting requirements of your business. For example, if you want your Profit & Loss to show the cost of the certification separately to other expenses you would create a separate account for it. If you want the P&L to show all the different cost areas individually you could create a Header account called Carbon Neutral Certification with Detail accounts for audit, verification etc. Or if you don't need that level of detail you could allocate it all to one general account.

     

    If you're not sure I'd recommend speaking to your accountant. Please let me know if you need further help.
