Accounting for bad debts
When you know that a debt will not be recovered, you need to write it off. Before you can write off a bad debt, create a ‘Bad Debt’ expense account in your accounts list or, if you account for bad debts by posting a provision to an asset account, create a ‘Provision for Bad Debts’ asset account.
