    Hello Dear all,

    My question is about the presentation of “allowance for receivable” in the cashflow.
    Just for simplicity, suppose we have an entity that has make an allowance for receivable = 100 and it there is no other changes in the receivable.

    Method 1 :

    Profit before tax : XXX
    Addback :
    Allowance for receivable = 100
    Changes in the working capital:
    Changes in the receivable = 0

    Method 2 :

    Profit before tax : XXX
    Addback :
    Allowance for receivable = 0
    Changes in the working capital:
    Changes in the receivable = 100

    I know both method will create the same balance for “cash generation from operations” in the cashflow, but I am getting confused about the correct presentation ?
    Thank you for you help,
    Regards

    method 1. You do your non-cash adjustments to the profit before looking at the changes to working capital.
