The entries to record the disposition of accounts receivable typically involve debiting the cash or another asset account and crediting accounts receivable to reflect the collection of the amount owed. If an account is deemed uncollectible, the company would debit a bad debt expense account and credit accounts receivable to recognize the loss. Additionally, if accounts are sold to a third party, the entry would involve debiting cash or a receivable from the sale and crediting accounts receivable. These entries ensure that the financial statements accurately reflect the company's assets and any potential losses.
