Can the payables be written off after one year?

Yes, payables can be written off after one year if they are deemed uncollectible or if the company has determined that the obligation is no longer valid. However, the specific policies for writing off payables may vary based on accounting standards and regulations. It's essential to ensure that proper documentation and justification are in place to support the write-off. Additionally, consult with an accounting professional to comply with applicable laws and financial reporting requirements.
