Document Summary

Looking at accounts receivable; the rights to receive cash in the future from your customers. Only record transaction under this account when the goods become the property of the customer (regardless if they paid for it yet or not) Listed as a current asset; before inventory and any prepaid expenses. Businesses sell on credit to be competitive; they record transactions with credit on accounts receivable and list it as a current asset and as revenue on the balance sheet. Account for doubtful accounts: recording transactions and the amount of money you think, will not be collectable from your total accounts receivable. Ex you have ,000 in accounts receivable; ,000 is the amount you think/know that you cant collect money from. So ,000 is recorded in the allowance for doubtful accounts.
