Memorandum No. 2020 - 055
TO All Electric Cooperatives
SUBJECT Revised Guidelines for Writing-Off Worthless Consumer
Accounts Receivables as Amended
I. Rationale
On June 10, 2016, NEA Memorandum No.-2016-009 or the Revised Guidelines
for Writing-Off Worthless Consumer Accounts Receivable was issued giving all
Electric Cooperatives (ECs) the opportunity to write-off all qualified uncollectible
Consumers' Accounts Receivable that have accumulated unrealistically for
years.
The said guideline was revisited and evaluated to determine its applicability in
the present environment. After review of the guidelines, it was considered that
some provisions necessitate amendments and improvement to make the rules
and procedures more stringent.
11. Objectives
1. To have an accurate and fair presentation of the financial viability of the
ECs.
2. To encourage each EC to strictly implement its disconnection policy.
3. To set clear-cut guidelines on the requirements and procedures for the
writing-off of ECs' worthless Consumer Accounts Receivable.
4. To specifically identify worthless accounts that have a negative impact on
the collection efficiency and to provide an adequate allowance for
uncollectible accounts. This will provide ECs with the proper information to
employ better collection strategy.
Ill. General Guidelines
A. Criteria
1. Accounts must be disconnected for more than five (5) years.
2. EC management must present proof that all efforts were exhausted to
collect from concerned consumers.
