Irrecoverables received

SSourav5y ago
Sir, if there's an adjustment wherein irrecoverable debt written of is received.. Then what will be the effects? In SOPL: Should it be subtracted from Admin cost or added to gross profit? In SOFP: Will it increase the receivables?

In the SOPL it is subtracted for the irrecoverable debts expense. In the SOFP it does not affect the receivables. I do explain the treatment in my lectures on irrecoverable and doubtful debts. The lectures are a complete free course for Paper FA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
