Write off money lying in terminated of absconded employee


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses how a manufacturing company should handle small employee advances that cannot be recovered from employees who have absconded. The consensus is to write off these irrecoverable advances through the Profit & Loss account. The suggested journal entry involves crediting the employee advance account and debiting an 'irrevocable advance write-off' expense account.
