80. The procedure for creating a reserve for doubtful debts

The accounting policy provides for the reflection of the procedure for creating a provision for doubtful debts.

In conditions of economic instability, many enterprises are insolvent. In order for organizations to insure themselves against financial losses, they form allowance for doubtful debts.

Before creating a reserve, it is necessary to find out information about the solvency of the debtor and the probable maturity of obligations. This information is necessary in order to determine the amount of cash deductions to the reserve.

Based on the results of the inventory of settlements with various debtors and creditors, the management of the enterprise decides to create a reserve for doubtful debts. In this case, the identified debt is classified as follows:

▪ doubtful debts with a period of occurrence over 90 days;

▪ doubtful debts with a period of occurrence From 45 to 90 days;

▪ doubtful debts with a period of occurrence to 45 days.

The creation of a reserve must be confirmed by an order or order of the director of the organization or a person replacing him. For accounting purposes, deductions to reserves are included in non-operating expenses on the last day of the reporting (tax) period.

The amount of the created reserve cannot exceed 10% of the revenue of the reporting (tax) period. Funds from the reserve are used solely to cover losses from bad debts.

Allowances for doubtful debts are accounted for account 63 "Provisions for doubtful debts".

For the amount of reserves created, entries are made on the debit of account 91 "Other income and expenses" and the credit of account 63 "Reserves for doubtful debts":

Debit account 91 "Other income and expenses"

Credit of account 63 "Reserves for doubtful debts".

When writing off unclaimed debts previously recognized by the organization as doubtful, entries are made in the debit of account 63 "Reserves for doubtful debts" in correspondence with the corresponding accounts for accounting for settlements with debtors. The record reflects:

Debit account 63 "Reserves for doubtful debts"

Credit of account 76 "Settlements with different debtors and creditors".

The addition of unused amounts of reserves for doubtful debts to the profit of the reporting period following the period of their creation is reflected in the debit of account 63 "Reserves for doubtful debts" and the credit of account 91 "Other income and expenses".

Analytical accounting on account 63 "Reserves for doubtful debts" is carried out for each created reserve.

If the amount of the allowance for doubtful debts is not fully used, then it is transferred to the next reporting (tax) period.

The amount of the newly created reserve should be adjusted for the amount of the balance of the reserve of the previous reporting period.

If the amount of the created reserve is less than the amount of the balance of the reserve of the previous reporting period, then the difference is subject to inclusion in the non-operating income of the taxpayer in the current reporting year.

If the amount of the newly created reserve based on the results of the inventory of the previous reporting (tax) period is greater, then the difference is attributed to non-operating expenses.

Debts not claimed by other organizations are recognized as income of the debtor enterprise.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>
