GLG Topic: Bankruptcy Accounting
Bankruptcy is the state in which an entity is unable to pay its creditors, forcing a legal process to resolve payment of debts. There are six types of bankruptcy, with Chapters 7, 11, and 13 the most common. Chapter 7 bankruptcy is the basic liquidation of an individual's or entity's assets. Chapter 11 bankruptcy is the reorganization primarily of business debtors. Chapter 13 bankruptcy entails the rehabilitation and payment plan for individuals.
