management performs detailed reviews of its receivables on a monthly and/or quarterly basis to assess the adequacy of the allowances based on historical and current trends and other factors affecting credit losses and to determine if any impairment has occurred . a receivable is impaired when it is probable that all amounts related to the receivable will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the agreement . additions to the allowances for doubtful accounts are maintained through adjustments to the provision for credit losses , which are charged to current period earnings ; amounts determined to be uncollectable are charged directly against the allowances , while amounts recovered on previously charged-off accounts increase the allowances . net charge-offs include the principal amount of losses charged-off as well as charged-off interest and fees . recovered interest and fees previously charged-off are recorded through the allowances for doubtful accounts and increase the allowances . finance receivables are assessed for charge-off when an account becomes 120 days past due and are charged-off typically within 60 days of asset repossession . contract receivables related to equipment leases are generally charged-off when an account becomes 150 days past due , while contract receivables related to franchise finance and van leases are generally charged-off up to 180 days past the asset return date . for finance and contract receivables , customer bankruptcies are generally charged-off upon notification that the associated debt is not being reaffirmed or , in any event , no later than 180 days past due . snap-on does not believe that its trade accounts , finance or contract receivables represent significant concentrations of credit risk because of the diversified portfolio of individual customers and geographical areas . see note 3 for further information on receivables and allowances for doubtful accounts . other accrued liabilities : supplemental balance sheet information for 201cother accrued liabilities 201d as of 2013 and 2012 year end is as follows : ( amounts in millions ) 2013 2012 .
