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.
