Nu numai în UK... dar şi în US. vezi http://www.oig.dol.gov/public/testimony/19980928.pdf
When the Department establishes a receivable, it does not know at that point that a
particular receivable will not be collected in the future, but it does know that of all of its
receivables, a certain percentage will eventually prove to be uncollectible. In order to not
overstate the value to DOL of all its receivables, Federal accounting standards require
that a loss on receivables be recognized when it is more likely than not that the
receivables will not be totally collected. Accordingly, an allowance is established to
reduce total receivables down to the amount which is believed to be collectible. The
allowance should be estimated on each annual financial reporting date and when
information indicates that the latest estimate is no longer correct.
