Account receivable is a balance sheet item shown under current assets on the asset side, having a debit balance.
It doesn't have anything to do with net income as accounts receivable is never shown in the trading profit and loss account. Only credit sales relating to such receivables during the current year forms part of the credit side of profit and loss and nit the account receivable itself.
