Added some concepts. Delineated between the working and terminal debt states (Doubtful/bad) and introduced some general treatments. Could use a Glossary of UK/US/Europe terms.Rolanbek (talk) 14:25, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bad Debt is often referred to as Toxic Debt in the UK.

The section 166 paragraph needs some context to clarify what is meant by that. Also, was it intended to be grouped under the topics of the US accounting principle? It's currently listed as a separate topic following the US one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.53.92.55 (talk) 02:43, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
