In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance (FASB ASC 326) which changed how entities measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that aren't measured at fair value through net income. The most significant change in this standard is a shift from the incurred loss model to the expected loss model. Under the standard, disclosures are required to provide users of the financial statements with useful information in analyzing an entity's exposure to credit risk and the measurement of credit losses. Financial assets held by the Company that are subject to the guidance in FASB ASC 326 are trade accounts receivable. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2023. The impact of the adoption was not considered material to the financial statements and primarily resulted in enhanced disclosures only.
The Company's allowance for expected credit losses, is Management's best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company reviews its allowance for expected credit losses periodically. Management determines an allowance based on historical experience and then analyzes individual past due balances for collectability based on current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
In addition, if Management believes it is probable a receivable will not be recovered, it is charged off against the allowance. For the year ended October 31, 2023, the allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable amounted to $109,133.
