Charge off

A charge off is an expense line item on a company's income statement. The charge off could be related to uncollectible accounts receivable, or a devaluation of the company's assets. In order to reduce the balance sheet account in question (i.e., the accounts receivable balance or the book value of a devalued asset), the company must take a charge against its earnings.
