Client accounts receivables Explanation: Splitting this phrase into 3 parts, and abbreviating the third as implied by the previous two would give the above short rendering, for you to ascertain from your preferred source, but the intended meaning is: receivables from clients' accounts. HTH -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2015-08-13 23:30:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Accounting-wise, 'receivables' are classified as 'assets', so would assume that this category can only be counted as anything above 0, but never below, as long as its contents has not been written off as bad debts. So this query is probably challenging that entry as a simple oversight that must have messed up the whole trial balance -- an error easily rectified but not so easy to spot, when you are focusing on the correctness of the figures entered while taking for granted they belong in the correct column. :-) |
