When should you create an impairment loss on receivables?
- Receivables are adjusted by provisions subject to probability of collection,
- The principle of prudent valuation requires updates of asset valuation => update of asset value (IAS 2 par.28, 33).
- Provisions are recognised to debtors in liquidation, bankrupt debtors, those that question the debt, overdue and non-overdue when the probability of non-collection is material (IAS 39, par.58, 59).
