    respected sire,
    Q; if the key customer is in financial difficulties and would pay on break up basis of 6 months and the finance director is claiming not to create any allowance for this ,

    as it is a an audit risk

    my query is that the auditor response for the allowance is written: to review whether any general allowance for uncollectible accounts is sufficient to cover the amount of this receivable. ( i did not understand what it means please explain me )?

    Generally, this would imply that a specific allowance was required. However, if that has not been made, the receivables might still be shown at a fair value if the general provison was large enough to cover that and other, yet to be identified, bad debts.

    Just read the relevant notes, listen relevant lectures and do relevant questions. On no account read ISAs or IFRSs.
