    The biggest red flag was that the allowance for bad debt expense dropped from 7.7 percent to 2.5 percent after the accounts receivable increased. In order to prove this theory, it is necessary to collect data on the allowance of bad debt from previous years, including the percentage of debt that was uncollectable. A review of the significant accounting estimates from last year is also required. This will assess whether or not…

    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,…

    When a company increases its allowance for uncollectible accounts, it also records bad debt expense in the income statement. If a company overestimates the allowance account, bad debt expense is too high and net income is understated. As well, accounts receivable (net of the allowance account) and total assets are both understated on the balance sheet. In future periods, the company will not need to add as much to its allowance account since it is already overestimated (or, it can reverse the excess existing allowance balance). As a result, future net income will be higher.…

    The basis of my subject “Bad debt expense estimation model” stems from account receivable. Account receivable is the term used by companies to describe money owed to them by clients or customers for goods and services provided. Bad debt expense is that portion of account receivables that will not be collected. Therefore, without any receivables a company will not have bad debts, thus no need to estimate any bad debt expense.…
