Because it is easier to use, the direct write-off method for uncollectible accounts is typically used instead of the allowance method.
Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)
False
The allowance method for uncollectible accounts conforms to the expense recognition principle and, as such, it is required by GAAP. Although the direct write-off method is easier to use, it overstates the value of Accounts Receivable and it violates the expense recognition principle. Thus, it is not considered a generally accepted accounting method.
