hi all 

what is the treatment of provision of doubtful debts shown in adjustments

language is "debtors includes Rs 120000 due for more than 6 months out of which provision has been made for doubtful debts at Rs 20000 during year



 

my question is 

i have seen a solved problem(company final accounts padhuka's book) and in that problem doubtful debts are not subtracted from debtors(shown in adjustment)  in balance sheet but are charged in p&l account even though it tallied

since the provision is already made, there is no need for debiting it to the pl again..

also, it might not hav been deducted from drs bt might hav been shown as provision...

yea well it was in adjustments and it is debited to p&l but is not subtracted from debtors there are 2 questions of this type in padukas book and rest of the information is derived from trail balance(tallied)

its not shown as provision neither it is deducted from debtors

resolved thanx anyways :)
