On Sept. 1, Furst must first reinstate the written-off account. The reinstatement increases assets (accounts receivable) and decreases assets (increases the contra-asset allowance for doubtful accounts), with no overall effect on the financial statements. Next, Furst records collection of the receivable, which increases assets (cash) and decreases assets (accounts receivable), again with no overall effect on assets. The event is reported as a cash inflow for operating activities on the statement of cash flows.
