CA Offsetting
THE INSTITUTE OF
CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS OF SRI LANKA
Note that measuring assets net of valuation allowances is not
offsetting
Obsolescence allowances on inventories
Doubtful debts allowances on receivables
Examples of acceptable offsetting ('netting' of accounts):
Revenue measured net of trade discounts and volume rebates
Gains and losses on the disposal of non-current assets reported net
of carrying amount and selling expenses
Gains and losses arising from a group of similar transactions
