Hi All:

I have a new audit client with a related party payable of approx. $46k. There are no stated repayment terms on the note - the only evidence is a note payable.

I cannot find anywhere the proper balance sheet classification - whether this should be disclosed as Short Term vs. Long Term.

Any pointers would be helpful.

Thanks in advance!!!
