bad debt provision


Explanation:
Wertberichtigung auf uneinbringliche Forderungen =
BANK FINANZ - bad debt provision
RECHNUNG - allowance for bad debts, provision for bad debts, bad debt provision.


Pauschalwertberichtigung I would translate as 'total bad debts provisions'.
Pauschal- = all-inclusive, across-the-board, all-in = total
