The Company shall distinguish the receivables at the year-end into ordinary receivables, receivables with certain doubts and claims in bankruptcy or regeneration.
For the ordinary receivables (receivables with no significant doubts in the financial situation of the debtors), general allowances are provided using a rate determined by past bad debts experience.
For the receivables with certain doubts (receivables from debtors who do not go bankrupt but have significant doubts in repayments), specific allowances are provided for the estimated amounts considered to be uncollectible after reviewing individual collectibility of certain doubtful accounts.
For claims in bankruptcy or regeneration (receivables from debtors who go bankrupt or substantially fail to continue), the specific allowances are also provided for individually estimated unrecoverable amounts.
See ASBJ-S10,JICPA-CS14 etc. for the further guidance.
