As i have made appropriate estimated balance for allowance of uncollectible accounts that is 180,000 and existing balance is 20,000. There is a difference 160,000 for which adjusting entry needs to be made. I would consider the impact of 160,000 on the financial statement as a whole like my profit is overstated, Account Receivable is overstated. After that, i would consider that what is the materiality of the company. As 160,000 is too insignificant impact for the stakeholder or whether it is significant. If i consider that its too significant so adjusting entry must be made

As i discussed with controller and he told me to revise the working with illogical reason which has no rationale and provided the reason that we need extra income so there is a threat of self-interest for the controller. As you are an assistant controller, you might be intimidated for your job and future career.
