Allowance Method

    0.01 sec.
Allowance Method
In accounting, a method by which one estimates the bad debt a company will acquire each accounting period. One calculates this estimate by assuming a certain percentage of sales will become accounts uncollectible. One automatically writes off this estimate each period. If the actual amount of bad debt differs from the estimate, an adjustment is made the following accounting period. See also: Direct write-off method.
