I agree with ankit
I agree with ankit
@ Ankit if debtors bal goes -ve due to advance then should be classified under -Trade receivables other than outstanding for 6 months....pls clarify
Trade Receivable outstanding even after end of 12 months from reporting date or o/s beyond operating cycle
(including trade receivables on deferred credit terms);
are treated as long term i.e Non Current, and which are to realised with in operating cycle or within 12 months are treated as current.
Both of these are to Sub Classified as:
Secured Considered Good
Unsecured Considered Good
Doubtful
Such Sub Classification depends on the Credit Policies of a Concern.
Hi Saurabh
Such Advance wold be treated as income received in advance under the head other Current liabilities
According to my view the normal trade receeivables which are even outstanding more more than 12 months,shouldnt be recognised as long term trade receivable as if u look substance over form,the intention was to pay the due in the normal operating cycle.
I dont think trade receivables should be classified into that.
however,I wanted your opinion,seems like some have differed and mostly agreed with my point.
Good thing i have students convention tomorrow and will be asking this out.
And the long term trade receivable has a pre agreement that the debtors will pay after 12 months.
so there is a difference
Hi Saurabh
Debtors with credit balances are clubbed under Trade Creditors.... this is a normal industry practice...
Mr. X sell goods to Mr. Y in An Agreement That Mr. Y would Pay After 12 months in that case Mr. Y would be treated as Long term Trade Receivable.
Hi Yogesh,
At Balance sheet date see whether the same is realisable in next one year, if yes then current other wise non current.
Its the balance sheet date considering which judgement has to be done..
Hi Ankit
Agree with you
my confusion was if a debtor is overdue for say 18 months,even though his allowed credit period was say 2 months,then where shall i show it? current or non current.
i would still say current,even though i want your opinion
Arka,
Again, u hv to see on balance sheet date... if management is of the view that they will reover it within next 1 year den current, or they show proof that it will be recoverd next yearr then non current otherwise create provision...
It dosnt matter it is outstanding for 18 months.. u have to see on balance sheet date wats its retrospective position...
Thanx to all .
For ur valuable clarifications.
Agree with all...
