Valuation allowance
Explanation:
Valuation allowance is a term most often used in connection with inventories, namely, obsolete or slow-moving inventories in accounting.

Allowance is generally used in connection with a type of reserve created for assets (accounts receivable, inventories, etc.). No money is actually disbursed, but an entry is posted in the accounting records.

Provision is generally used in connection with a type of reserve created for liabilities (accounts payable, taxes, etc.), and money is actually disbursed along with the entry posted in the accounting records.

RESERVES - USE OF THE TERM "RESERVE"
Prior to being supersleded by the APB, the Committee on Terminology of the AICPA issued four terminology bulletins. In Accounting Terminology Bulletin No. 1, "Review and Resume", the Committee recommended that the term "Reserve" be applied only to amounts of retained earnings appropriated for general or specific purposes.
