Introduction To Bookkeeping: Irrecoverable Debts
Gbogbo ọrọ náà
Selling on credit means trusting a customer to pay later, and most of the time that trust is well placed. But every business that offers credit eventually meets a customer who will never pay: gone out of business, disappeared, or simply refusing to settle the bill. What happens to that unpaid balance in the books is the subject of this lesson.
In this lesson you will learn what an irrecoverable debt is, how to write off a specific customer's debt using double entry, why a business also sets aside a provision for irrecoverable debts, and how the two ideas differ.
