Estimating debts

If the exact amount of a debt is not known, report the estimated amount of the debt. The committee should amend the report once a correct figure is known or include the correct figure in a later report.

Use Schedule D to report:

  • The outstanding amount owed on a debt or obligation; and
  • Payments made to reduce the debt.

Schedule D instructions explain what additional information is required.

Enter the Schedule D total of outstanding debts, plus the balance of loans owed by the committee (carried over from Schedule C, as explained above) on Line 10 of the Summary Page. Note that payments to reduce debts must also be reported under the appropriate category of disbursement on the Detailed Summary Page (for example, Line 21(b) for a payment on a bill for an operating expenditure).
