should be stated in internal controls. 30-45 days unpaid after invoice issuance is typically delinquent, but its a sliding scale (older debt > higher contribution to bad debt expense as percentage of the receivable)
Can you explain the last part more? Also, you’re saying after 60 days it’s completely written off?
It depends on the company, probably not a 60 day receivable. They'd take a percentage of it, say 1% (it would more for or less depending on the age of rec.), multiply it by the amount of delinquent receivable, and that would be added to the calculation of allowance for doubtful accounts. Bad debt expense is periodically debited to adjust the balance of allowance for doubtful accounts.
Yup this is exactly my experience at multiple companies. Note variability in different industries can result in different percentages and terms for bad debt
Can you explain this through an example or less accountanty lol
