Liabilities no longer written back


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the accounting treatment for liabilities that are no longer payable. When a creditor waives a debt or a liability is otherwise no longer required, the correct journal entry involves debiting the Sundry Creditors account and crediting the Profit & Loss Adjustment account. This reflects the income generated from the unneeded liability.
