Uncollectible accounts were expensed as written off and recoveries were credited to income as
collected.
During 2020, management recognized that the accounting policy with respect to doubtful accounts
was not correct and determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts was necessary.
A policy was established to maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical bad
debt loss percentage applied to year-end accounts receivable.
The historical bad debt loss percentage is to be recomputed each year based on all available past
years up to a maximum of five years.
