Accounting Question – Impairment of Accounts Receivables
Hi, I am confused regarding how impairment of AR would affect the cash flow statement specifically.
Assuming an impairment of $10, which one of the two steps below is correct for the cash flow statement?
1) Add back impairment expense of $10 as a non-cash expense
2) Since AR drops by $10, changes in net working capital will result in a $10 cash inflow
Both seems correct, but doing both seems like I am double counting. Which one is the correct approach and why is the other method wrong?
Et est aut occaecati est placeat omnis cupiditate eius. Mollitia et amet repellendus. Aliquam voluptatem tempore occaecati facilis.
Hic rerum autem veniam consequatur sint. Libero saepe repudiandae in cumque ut. Accusantium dolore voluptate vero sed error quo qui. Nam et velit omnis dolor eligendi harum eveniet architecto. Repellat nobis sapiente consequatur quibusdam.
Libero ut voluptatem aut sit. Nesciunt repudiandae veritatis fugit.
