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
