    Many medical organizations with average patient accounts receivable that are greater than a specified amount, not including the allowance, must compute and record an Allowance for Doubtful Accounts on their balance sheet. This accounts receivable balance should be re-evaluated on an annual basis to determine reporting status. Often, it is not known which specific accounts receivable invoices will be uncollectible. An allowance is therefore established to estimate the value of those receivables believed to be uncollectible. This entry should be “recorded so the income statement and balance sheet are fairly stated at the amount expected to be collected in receivables, thus satisfying the matching principle. The entry creates a contra accounts receivable balance. When netted against the gross total of accounts receivable, the true value of the receivables is reported” (FMS,…

    Leslie Fay Case

    First of all, the Account Receivables was increasing 4.7% (56.6 million) from 1987 amounted 82.9 million (27.1%) to 1990 amounted 139.5 million (31.8%). However, one thing is worth to mention that there was a substantial loss when Leslie Fay wrote off a receivable from Allied/Federated Department Stores after the large retailer filed bankruptcy in late 1989. As far as I can see, it is an unusual and inconsistence gain of Account Receivables in 1987 to 1990. More specifically, especially from 1989 to 1990, the Account Receivable increased from 117.3 million (30.3%) to 139.5 million (31.8%), which is a 1.5% (22.2 million) increase in one year after the large retailer announced bankruptcy and there was a large uncollectable amount from the large retailer. As a result, I suspect Leslie Fay was trying to overstate its Account Receivable amount…
