1st(

When we recover the doubtful debt
Dr Allowance for receivable
CR Irrecoverable debt
and the following entry
Dr Bank

is this above the right?
If we receive money from a debt that has previously been written off as irrecoverable, the entry is

Cr Irrecoverable debts expense
If we receive money from a debt for which there is an allowance because it is doubtful, the entries are as you have written.
