    Hello sir,

    Is allowance for receivables short term therefore considered as current asset or long term? Can allowance, which is a negative asset, be included with current assets?

    Thank you for your time.

    The allowance for receivables appear in the SOFP as reduction in the balance on receivables (which is a current asset). It is nothing to do with long-term anything!!

    Yet again, you must watch my free lectures – you really cannot expect me to type them out again here 🙂
