Accounting For End Of Period Adjustments: Irrecoverable Debts
Akopọ
A provision for irrecoverable debts is never calculated from nothing more than once. After the first year, a business already has a provision sitting on its books, and the year-end job is to decide whether that provision needs to grow, shrink, or stay the same, based on this year's closing trade receivables.
In this lesson you will learn how to adjust an existing provision for irrecoverable debts at the year end, how an increase or a decrease is recorded and affects profit, and how the figures for irrecoverable debts and trade receivables are presented in the income statement and the statement of financial position.
