Treatment of provision for bad debts in cash flow statement


This query is : Open 

23 October 2017 Hii
Can you explain me the treatment of 'Provision for Bad debts' in Cash flow statement under indirect method?
My assumption is that the prov. debited in P&L A/C is to be added back as non cash item and the changes in the Balance of the Prov. A/C as per the Balance sheet is to be added or subtracted accordingly as 'Changes in Working capital'
Is my assumption right?
Pls explain with a suitable example

Thank you
