Client Receivable Written Off (Unrecoverable)
Writing off a client invoice confirmed as unrecoverable after all collection efforts have failed.
| Account Name | Type | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |

💡 Accountant's Note
The write-off removes the receivable from the balance sheet. No new expense is recognized if the allowance was already set up. The legal claim against the client may continue even after write-off.
