If proision or bad debts has been created in the books of accounts, debit bad debts to prov. for b/d a/c, otherwise treat debit directly to P/L a/c.

2. If it is not sure about his insolvency and the situation is that u are more than not likely to receive the amount from debtors,then
Bad debts(indirect expenses) a/c Dr. xxxxx
