To report accounts receivable effectively on the balance sheet: Break down accounts receivable into categories, such as “trade accounts receivable” and “other receivables.” Clearly indicate the aging of accounts receivable to show how much is current, 30, 60, or 90+ days overdue.
Average accounts receivable is calculated as the sum of starting and ending receivables over a set period of time (generally monthly, quarterly or annually), divided by two.
Accounts Receivables are current assets on the balance sheet and are to be reported at net realizable value.
Assignment of receivables would mean sale of the lease rentals, not the asset. In that case, the leased asset still remains the property of the assignor – that is, the assignor has retained the residual interest in the asset. However, it would be different if the lessor sells the asset that has been leased out.
