Accounting concept

Making an allowance for receivables is an example of which concept?

Accruals

Going concern

Materiality

Fair presentation

Of the fundamental concepts it is the accruals (or matching) concept - charging expenses in the same period in which the revenue is accounted for.

But the bpp study kit says that it's fair presentation. I'm confused

It is fair presentation also, but the accruals concept is more correct.
