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
