If you are using a cash based accounting system, then no. If you are using an accrual based accounting system, then you have to include an accurate dollar amount of accounts receivable by the company. Typically a "reserve for bad debt" is also listed. This is a dollar amount which reflects a reasonable estimate of what might not be collected. The total of amount of Accounts Receivable minus the Reserve for Bad Debt is the amount of money you expect will absolutely collected.
