Yes.... and no. I guess it depends how you are meaning this, specifically. They are both "contra-asset" accounts, however, they are for different things. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts ("ADA") is the estimated amount of your accounts receivable (the money that people owe you) that you suspect will not be paid. Accumulated Depreciation is the total depreciation on your asset (building, equipment, etc. -- NOTE: Land does NOT depreciate.) since you record the asset at its historical cost (the amount you paid for it). So, while both are contra-asset accounts, they have very different uses behind them.
Rate of depreciation = 1-(salvage value/Cost of asset)^(1/n) n-> useful life of the asset. This rate of depreciation is charged on the net book value of the asset of each year.! The depreciation rates are high at the start and low towards the end of useful life of the asset
Accumulated depreciation and depreciation are related with each other as depreciation is annual expense while accumulated depreciation is the sum of all annual depreciation expenses.

Depreciation expenses is for one specific fiscal year while accumulated depreciation is the sum of all depreciation expenses that’s why accumulated depreciation exceeds the depreciation if there is depreciation expense in prior year as well.
