hi,

what is d difference btwn interest expense and interest payable and plz give itz treatments in soci and sfp and scf 

Interest

It's hard to say without context, but it sounds like you're asking for treatment of interest on loans taken out by the entity:

Interest Expense is the amount of interest for the period.  It'll be an expense in the finance costs section of the statement of comprehensive income.

Interest Payable is the amount of interest due to be paid.  It'll be a (probably current) liability on the balance sheet.
