Bad debts should proportionate in sales ratio in pre&post incorporation.
and Bad debts recovered should show in pre- incorporation.

1. Bad debts recovered amount is Income. Bad debts (loss) was debited to profit and loss a/c during pre-incorporation period.

So Bad debts recovered to be consider as Pre-incorporation Income.

2. Bad debts is the loss which are directly related with sales. so this loss is to be apportioned to pre and post incorporation period in sales ratio.

All such expenses are debited to Asset account only even with different invoices or without documentation.

There is no treatment for pre. Only post incorporation accounting is available. However by using accoubting conventions, you can transfer a pro ision from pre to post
