Accounts ReceivableOne of the key factors underlying the growth of the American economy is the trend toward selling goods and services on credit. Accounts receivable comprise the largest financial asset of many merchandising companies.Accounts receivable are relatively liquid assets, usually converting into cash within a period of 30 to 60 days. Therefore, accounts receivable from customers usually appear in the balance sheet immediately after cash and short-term investments in marketable securities.UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTSAccounts receivable are shown in the balance sheet at the estimated collectible amount—called net realizable value. No business wants to sell merchandise on account to customers who will be able to pay. Many companies maintain their own credit departments that investigate the creditworthiness of each prospective customer. Nonetheless, if a company makes credit sales to hundreds—perhaps thousands—of customers, some accounts inevitably will turn out to be uncollectible.A limited amount of uncollectible accounts is not only expected—it is evidence of a sound credit policy. If the credit department is overly cautious, the business may lose many sales opportunities by rejecting customers who should have been considered acceptable credit risks.THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTSThere is no way of telling in advance which accounts receivable will prove to be uncollectible. It is therefore not possible to credit the accounts of specific customers for our estimate of probable uncollectible accounts. Neither should we credit the Accounts Receivable control account in the general ledger. If the Accounts Receivable control accounts were to be credited with the estimated amount of doubtful accounts, this control account would no longer be in balance with the total of the numerous customers’accounts in the subsidiary ledger. A practical alternative therefore is to credit a separate account called Allowance for Doubtful Accounts with the amount estimated to be uncollectible.The Allowance for Doubtful Accounts often is described as a contra-asset account or a valuation account. Both of these terms indicate that the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a credit balance, which is offset against the asset Accounts Receivable to produce a more useful and reliable measure of a company’s liquidity. Because the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is merely an estimate and not a precise calculation, professional judgment plays a considerable role in determining the size of this valuation account.Monthly Adjustment of the Allowance Account In the adjusting entry made by World Famous Toy Co. at January 31, the amount of the adjustment ($10,000) was equal to the estimated amount of uncollectible accounts. This is true only because January was the first month of operations and this was the company’s first estimate of its uncollectible accounts. In future months, the amount of the adjusting entry will depend on two factors: (1) the estimate of uncollectible accounts and (2) the current balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. Before we illustrate the adjusting entry for a future month, let us see why the balance in the allowance account maychange during the accounting period.WRITING OFF AN UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNT RECEIV ABLEWhenever an account receivable from a specific customer is determined to be uncollectible, it no longer qualifies as an asset and should be written off. To write off an account receivable is to reduce the balance of the customer’s account to zero. The journal entry to accomplish this consists of a credit to the Accounts Receivable control account in the general ledger (and to the customer’s account in the subsidiary ledger) and an offsetting debit to the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.To illustrate, assume that, early in February, World Famous Toy Co. learns that Discount Stores has gone out of business and that the $4,000 account receivable from this customer is now worthless. The entry to write off this uncollectible account receivable is:Allowance for Doubtful Accounts………………… 4,000Accounts Receivable (Discount Stores)…………………… 4,000To write off the account receivable from Discount Stores as uncollectible.The important thing to note in this entry is that the debit is made to the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and not to the Uncollectible Accounts Expense account. The estimated expense of credit losses is charged to the Uncollectible Accounts Expense account at the end of each accounting period. When a specific account receivable is later determined to be worthless and is written off, this action does not represent an additional expense but merely confirms our previous estimate of the expense. If the Uncollectible Accounts Expense account was first charged with estimated credit losses and then later charged with proven credit losses, we would be double-counting the actual uncollectible accounts expense.Notice also that the entry to write off an uncollectible account receivable reduces both the asset account and the contra-asset account by the same amount. Thus writing off an uncollectible account does not change the net realizable value of accounts receivable in the balance sheet.INTERNAL CONTROLS FOR RECEIV ABLESOne of the most important principles of internal control is that employees who have custody of cash or other negotiable assets must not maintain accounting records. In a small business, one employee often is responsible for handing cash receipts, maintaining accounts receivable records, issuing credit memoranda, and writing off uncollectible accounts. Such a combination of duties is an invitation to fraud. The employee in this situation is able to remove the cash collected from a customer without making any record of the collection. The next step is to dispose of the balance in the customer’s account. This can be done by issuing a credit memo indicating that the customer has returned merchandise, or by writing off the customer’s account as uncollectible. Thus the employee has the cash, the customer’s account shows a zero balance due, and the books are in balance.In summary, employees who maintain the accounts receivable subsidiary ledger should not have access to cash receipts. The employees who maintain accounts receivable or handle cash receipts should not have authority to issue credit memoranda or to authorize the write-off of receivables as uncollectible. These areclassic examples of incompatible duties.MANAGEMENT OF ACCOUNTS RECEIV ABLEManagement has two conflicting objectives with respect to the accounts receivable. On the one hand, management wants to generate as much sales revenue as possible. Offering customers lengthy credit terms, with little or no interest, has proven to be an effective means of generating sales revenue.Every business, however, would rather sell for cash than on account. Unless receivables earn interest, which usually is not the case, they are nonproductive assets that produce no revenue as they await collection. Therefore, another objective of cash management is to minimize the amount of money tied up in the form of accounts receivable.Several tools are available to a management that must offer credit terms to its customers yet wants to minimize the company’s investment in accounts receivable. We have already discussed offering credit customers cash discounts (such as 2/10, n/30) to encourage early payment. Other tools include factoring accounts receivable and selling to customers who use national credit cards.应收账款一个关键因素的增长,美国经济正走向销售商品和服务的信贷。

然而,账户操作可能分类上的实践,这些相关的平衡负债表和损益表分类。
这些类型的操作不是文学中描述。
也许,这个缺点的原因应该与复杂的会计技术有关,应用于促进盈余管理。
一项研究由理查森et al 。
(2002)表明,盈余管理主要是根据收入确认,包括基于“增大化现实”技术。
他没有表明,使用基于“增大化现实"技术的方式来操纵帐户。
观察的会计违规和会计错误当局要求重述或修正的年度报告.AR—related重述的原因应该与所需的“盈余管理”,包括操作的资产负债表和损益表。
看起来,“收益管理”是在路上被安放“管理帐户"的概念.新概念建构的旧概念收入管理和沟通管理更中性时尚的观点影响会计(见,例如。
金融时报》6月8日,2009年).根据定义,收益管理一组通信方式管理人为管理以满足一些预先设定的预期收益水平,如,分析师预期.跟上一些收入趋势,据分析师估计,它是先验假定可以影响投资者对风险的看法(Riahi—Belkaoui 2005;马修斯和佩雷拉1996)。
附录原文Receivable managementWith the development of enterprises, a gradual increase in accounts receivable, the rising cost of funds, and enterprises to increase their market share, reducing the provision of goods or services on credit services, credit rating, to obtain more business channels and expand sales. In this case enterprises can not be sufficient liquidity to pay day-to-day management activities and related taxes and fees, they need to rely on bank loans to solve this problem. However, the heavy interest, but also further increase the cost of the enterprise, and with the growth of accounts receivable aging, and its loss of the possibility of bad debts have also increased, so that the cost of capital rise. Some enterprises also exist as a result of malicious arrears accounts, and accounts receivable collection enterprises basically rely on their own collection, resulting in the recovery of accounts receivable due to unnecessary cost increases can not be transferred, the cost of capital increase, increasing accounts receivable risk recovery section.1 Accounts receivable risk causesFirst, the causes of accounts recevableTo promote the sale of enterprises and accelerate the collection, to pay a certain cost to provide customers with a certain degree of credit terms. In determining the customer's credit terms, the enterprise must ensure that customer credit terms to provide the benefits to the enterprise greater than the cost of credit. If the credit period is too long, the blind implementation of the cash discount, or discount rate determined unreasonable, all the credit companies will only increase costs and increase the recovery of accounts receivable risks and cost recovery is not conducive to the development of enterprises. The lack of a number of small and medium enterprisesengaged in full-time accounts receivable risk management, the lack of a sound and effective customer profiles and professional credit rating, credit limits and credit control, there is no risk of bad debts in advance, a matter of prevention and control.Many enterprises, wages and benefits linked to the operating mode, the operator simply allows the pursuit of high-margin, commodity or the provision of credit blind services, to create indicators met or surpassed the illusion, do not consider value for money and recyclability, and increase business accounts receivable risk. Enterprise internal control system in a large number of claims for clean-up funds, poor collection, resulting in financial losses. Corporate accounting departments should timely accounting, accounts receivable reflect the situationcorrectly. However, the prevalence of accounting in debt, debt accounts do not wither in time the entire problem of cleaning up failed to claim the funds, check, and many of the business of money is unknown, the possibility of increased bad debts. In order to inflated corporate profits, capital losses and the current cost of long-term hanging on subjects dealing with accounts receivable, resulting in actual loss virtual surplus. The existence of these issues to cover up the of business losses, is not conducive to strengthening the management of enterprises easily create the illusion of false claims, resulting in distortion of accounting information, serious impact on information usersmake the right decisions.Second, accounts receivable management and prevent risks(A) receivables in advance of risk controlBad debt risk is an objective existence, as long as there is likely to have bad credit. Not all accounts receivable can be passed on, all can be avoided, so must be provision for bad debts. Enterprises should be fully estimated bad debt losses that may occur will be the impact of gains and losses, bad debts on schedule extract prepared to break down the risk of bad debt losses. Their provision is based on sound principles and the principle of proportion. Accounting system of China's enterprises, enterprises can only account for bad debt allowance for loss method. Allowance for bad debts is estimated that loss of time, the formation of bad debts. Have to guard against the risk of bad debts, to resist the loss of identity, is to guard against the risk of accounts receivable of the first barrier. Accounts receivable as a bad loss does not mean thatcompanies give up to obtain the right to accounts receivable, business units should continue to pay attention to the debt situation, as far as possible to recover the receivable. Clear job responsibilities, the establishment of system of personal responsibility. ShouldAccounts receivable management is a system, in accordance with the relevant provisions of enterprises, improve the sales management system, a clear job responsibilities and business processes for the refinement of management; to negotiate the contract, opening, distribution and delivery, to go out and receivables and other business-related departments and staff to ensure that the mutual separation of incompatible duties. The various departments to carry out their duties, fulfill their duties, responsible, responsibility to the people, to maximize the recovery of accounts receivable, to shorten the accounts receivable collection period,To reduce the bad debt losses. Enterprises in the sales process, should be granted in strict accordance with the customer's credit trading volume control, and in accordance with the principle of limited authorization in the enterprise at all levels within the respective provisions of the credit limit may be granted. Hierarchical management system that is conducive to business at a reasonable credit limits, credit limits businesses to deal with the implementation of regular inspection and analysis, to ensure that the credit limit of safety and reasonable. Credit standards in the process, through comprehensive analysis, to find out will not affect the sales will not increase the risk of the optimal point of balance. Credit terms including credit terms and cash discounts, to extend the credit period to be appropriate to expand sales, but it can also result in accounts receivable to increase the opportunity cost of occupancy, at the same time increase the risk of bad debt losses. Enterprises to deal with different clients in credit and making necessary adjustments so that it has always been able to keep the scope of enterpriseInside. Business units in determining the credit terms and credit limit of credit before the credit must be made to understand and carry out the assessment, given the appropriate credit standards, thus the effective control of accounts receivable. Credit analysis from the quality of enterprises, capital, capacity, collateral and credit situation in these five cases are analyzed.(B)Accounts receivable risk control thingsFinancial sector client money received should be recorded or made such an inquiry procedure, it is necessary to control the contract and customer requirements to issue bills of lading, and sent to transport personnel or customer receipt, the transport sector should be organized according to the bill of lading shipments, and to ensure that the specifications of the goods, model, the number is correct, should be based on bills of lading after delivery to customers, such as timely invoicing, payment settlement process. Contracts should be standardized, in line with the requirements of contract law, the subject of the contract, the quantity, quality, delivery time, delivery location, payment method and careful assessment of liability for breach of contract and decide whether to accept the orders, thereby enabling business conduct standardized and refinement. As far as possible, enterprises should use their own settlement in a favorable settlement and advanced means to return the funds to accelerate and shorten the time in-transit funds.(C) the risk of accounts receivable after the controlControl of accounts receivable, including credit contract after the expiration of the recovery of funds control and funds due to various reasons could not be recovered due to the formation of bad debts and losses.

应收账款外文文献-CAL-FENGHAI.-(YICAI)-Company One11.Accounts ReceivableOne of the key factors underlying the growth of the American economy is the trend toward selling goods and services on credit. Accounts receivable comprise the largest financial asset of many merchandising companies.Accounts receivable are relatively liquid assets, usually converting into cash within a period of 30 to 60 days. Therefore, accounts receivable from customers usually appear in the balance sheet immediately after cash and short-term investments in marketable securities.2.UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTSAccounts receivable are shown in the balance sheet at the estimated collectible amount—called net realizable value. No business wants to sell merchandise on account to customers who will be able to pay. Many companies maintain their own credit departments that investigate the creditworthiness of each prospective customer. Nonetheless, if a company makes credit sales to hundreds—perhaps thousands—of customers, some accounts inevitably will turn out to be uncollectible.A limited amount of uncollectible accounts is not only expected—it is evidence of a sound credit policy. If the credit department is overly cautious, the business may lose many sales opportunities by rejecting customers who should have been considered acceptable credit risks.3.THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTSThere is no way of telling in advance which accounts receivable will prove to be uncollectible. It is therefore not possible to credit the accounts of specific customers for our estimate of probable uncollectible accounts. Neither should we credit the Accounts Receivable control account in the general ledger. If the Accounts Receivable control accounts were to be credited with the estimated amount of doubtful accounts, this control account would no longer be in balance with the total of the numerous customers’ accounts in the subsidiary ledger. A practical alternative therefore is to credit a separate account called Allowance for Doubtful Accounts with the amount estimated to be uncollectible.The Allowance for Doubtful Accounts often is described as a contra-asset account or a valuation account. Both of these terms indicate that the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a credit balance, which is offset against the asset Accounts Receivable to produce a more useful and reliable measure of a company’s liquidity. Because the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is merely an estimate and not a precise calculation, professional judgment plays a considerable role in determining the size of this valuation account.Monthly Adjustment of the Allowance Account In the adjusting entry made by World Famous Toy Co. at January 31, the amount of the adjustment ($10,000) was equal to the estimated amount of uncollectible accounts. This is true only because January was the first month of operations and this was the company’s first estimate of its uncollectible accounts. In future months, the amount of the adjusting entry will depend on two factors: (1) the estimate of uncollectible accounts and (2) the current balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. Before we illustrate the adjustingentry for a future month, let us see why the balance in the allowance account may change during the accounting period.WRITING OFF AN UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNT RECEIVABLEWhenever an account receivable from a specific customer is determined to be uncollectible, it no longer qualifies as an asset and should be written off. To write off an account receivable is to reduce the balance of the customer’s account to zero. The journal entry to accomplish this consists of a credit to the Accounts Receivable control account in the general ledger (and to the customer’s account in the subsidiary ledger) and an offsetting debit to the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.To illustrate, assume that, early in February, World Famous Toy Co. learns that Discount Stores has gone out of business and that the $4,000 account receivable from this customer is now worthless. The entry to write off this uncollectible account receivable is:Allowance for Doubtful Accounts………………… 4,000Accounts Receivable (Discount Stores)…………………… 4,000To write off the account receivable from Discount Stores as uncollectible.The important thing to note in this entry is that the debit is made to the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and not to the Uncollectible Accounts Expense account. The estimated expense of credit losses is charged to the Uncollectible Accounts Expense account at the end of each accounting period. When a specific account receivable is later determined to be worthless and is written off, this action does not represent an additional expense but merely confirms our previous estimate of the expense. If the Uncollectible Accounts Expense account was first charged with estimated credit losses and then later charged with proven credit losses, we would be double-counting the actual uncollectible accounts expense.Notice also that the entry to write off an uncollectible account receivable reduces both the asset account and the contra-asset account by the same amount. Thus writing off an uncollectible account does not change the net realizable value of accounts receivable in the balance sheet.INTERNAL CONTROLS FOR RECEIVABLESOne of the most important principles of internal control is that employees who have custody of cash or other negotiable assets must not maintain accounting records. In a small business, one employee often is responsible for handing cash receipts, maintaining accounts receivable records, issuing credit memoranda, and writing off uncollectible accounts. Such a combination of duties is an invitation to fraud. The employee in this situation is able to remove the cash collected from a customer without making any record of the collection. The next step is to dispose of the balance in the customer’s account. This can be done by issuing a credit memo indicating that the customer has returned merchandise, or by writing off the customer’s account as uncollectible. Thus the employee has the cash, the customer’s account shows a zero balance due, and the books are in balance.In summary, employees who maintain the accounts receivable subsidiary ledger should not have access to cash receipts. The employees who maintain accounts receivable or handle cash receipts should not have authority to issue creditmemoranda or to authorize the write-off of receivables as uncollectible. These are classic examples of incompatible duties.MANAGEMENT OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLEManagement has two conflicting objectives with respect to the accounts receivable. On the one hand, management wants to generate as much sales revenue as possible. Offering customers lengthy credit terms, with little or no interest, has proven to be an effective means of generating sales revenue.Every business, however, would rather sell for cash than on account. Unless receivables earn interest, which usually is not the case, they are nonproductive assets that produce no revenue as they await collection. Therefore, another objective of cash management is to minimize the amount of money tied up in the form of accounts receivable.Several tools are available to a management that must offer credit terms to its customers yet wants to minimize the company’s investment in accounts receivable. We have already discussed offering credit customers cash discounts (such as 2/10,n/30) to encourage early payment. Other tools include factoring accounts receivable and selling to customers who use national credit cards.。

应收账款通俗解释
应收账款(AccountsReceivable)通常用来指企业在提供商品和服务后,未收到款项的账面折算值。
它是指企业为了收回应收账款而准备支付的现金。
应收账款是一种流动性资产,可以在未来收回现金,这为企业提供现金流量。
企业可以出售应收账款以收回现金。
这种做法,也被称为“账款转让”或“账款出售”。
企业也可以借贷资金以补充资金来源,以偿付应收账款。
应收账款的估计是由会计师按照一定的会计准则来进行的,以便企业可以获得准确的应收账款数据。
外,企业还可以把应收账款分解为不同的分类,比如通常长期欠款、通常短期欠款、逾期欠款等,以便企业可以直观地看到账面上的应收账款情况。
为了监督和控制应收账款,企业都会建立明确的应收账款政策,规定客户必须在一定的时间内付款,以保护企业的利益。
除了要求客户付款,企业还要定期对应收账款进行审计,确保准确地记录各方之间的交易情况,以防止企业发生现金流失。
此外,一些企业会采取应收账款保险投保,以防止客户不能支付所欠款项。
在有了这种保险之后,企业可以对客户管控更严格,从而更好地保护自己的利益。
综上所述,应收账款是企业收回现金的重要来源,是一种流动性资产。
企业应该建立合理的应收账款政策,加强对客户的控制,同时定期审计应收账款,以防止企业损失自身的利益。

Therefore, good business requires good capital but it is rare in today’s conditions. Although accounts receivable are less solvent form of working capital than money, the present value of timely payment will not cause troubles largely regarding to liquidity, and in the enterprise solvency. Investments are resources connected to accounts receivable. We must have in mind that accounts receivable are not “real” investments, they are result of advancing sale, not a determination (long-term and planned) by the enterprise to invest capital shares from accounts receivable. All accounts receivable, disregarding the basis of their origin, due to date and security (except long-term accounts receivable included in the group of financial investments) are part of working assets, in the balance sense of accounts receivable.Keywords: accounting; accounts receivable; management; financial reports; liquidity.1.IntroductionThe conditions of globalization are characterized by changes in all the fields, therefore in the field of accounting also. The enterprises of high performances are expressed fully. Participation on capital markets requires objective accounting information from financial reports in order to make adequate business decisions.Accounts receivable (among other items of financial reports) have an extraordinary influence on the liquidity of enterprises, so a special attention should be paid to them. Therefore the investment risk must be as small as possible.It is a fact that if the payment term of receivables shortens, the liquidity of enterprises increases. Thus, the interest of enterprises is to shorten the time of payment of the receivables. It can be done in a form of minimization of the risk of frozen credits and stimulating consumers with various discounts, and so on.As accounts receivable are significant investments for many enterprises and so, they should efficiently manage receivables in order to realize profit in business; therefore, it is needed to pay attention to receivables, among other contemporary enterprise items, the payment and management of the receivables, the importance of customer profitability analysis, and the importance of the time structure of accounts receivable.2.Globalization and its Reflection to the Business of Local CompaniesGlobalization of the world market and mutual connection of business partners in the world have caused the development of new technologies that enable more qualitative and efficient business, it is the necessity of contemporary enterprises aspiring high performances.The conditions of globalization have born a new economy where communication technologies create a global competition with innovativeness and mass adaptation being more important than mass production. Reference Knowledge transformed into information is even considered a new economic factor. A characteristic of the new economy is more investments in new business concepts and their methodologies, not in new equipments as it used to be. Thus, its characteristic is the presence of changes(less or bigger), therefore enterprises gravitate to the improvements of their performances. Consequently, we can say that only the enterprises that react to changes very quickly and adapt to them (they are flexible to them), disregarding the fact from where they come (consumers-buyers, competition or the other), can survive.To keep profitability and preserve comparative advantages on the global market in the new century supposes the existence of not only a formal strategy, but a real one, which can be implemented.The country that provides a high-quality financial reporting increases its participation on the global capital market, stimulates capital flows in the country, decreases the risk of investment, simplifies the requirements of reporting and international comparisons and stimulates the approach to capital markets.To facilitate adequate business decision -making, accounting information in financial reports should be objective, as well as accounts receivable that are in the focus of our consideration.3.Analysis of Profitability of the ConsumerIn market-developed countries with the growth of global competition, many companies orientate to the consumers and their changeable demands. Many companies, in order to keep the existing and attracting new consumers, must go toward consumers providing them with a wide range of services. Costs originating from it are big, and they can rarely be seen by the traditional systems of cost accounting. Namely, it means that many companies lack information about how much consumer (individuals or groups of consumers) contribute to their profitability.In practice, it happens very often that consumers who are considered the most important, cause considerable losses to the enterprises and they do not contribute to profit increase. It is unbelievable that a small number of enterprises have feedback information about how consumers evaluate services the enterprise orients to them. Many enterprises even do not suppose that expensive services they render almost nobody wants. In addition, many of them are not conscious that only several consumers contribute to profit generation, while the rest of the majority hardlycontribute to profit generation, but make losses.Modern enterprises continually emphasize that consumers are in the focus of their business activities, on the one side. There are also greater numbers of enterprises that do not analyze the consumer’s contribution in the total profitability, on the other side. The reason is that traditional management accounting is oriented to the interior of the enterprise (to products, product lines, production-sale mix, business functions, organizational parts, and so on, but not to the consumers). In any case, management accounting recognized the consumers according to the geographical areas in their reports.It is not enough to recognize consumers only by the geographical areas, in order to manage successfully the enterprise-limited resources in the conditions of very changeable competitive environment. The reason is that in the conditions of increasing competition, profitability does not depend especially in the future product costs, but on the following services (for example, promotion, advertisement, warranty period of the service etc.). Great attention in the future should be paid to cost management that is the effects of providing different term commodity credit. The enterprise’s focus must be on the optimal terms of paying that favorable both the consumer and the seller. Beside the term of payment, the use of discount represents an important selling condition. The bigger percent of discount and longer discount period stimulate consumers to pay earlier. If the terms of sale on the limited credit are move favorable, it causes stock decrease because of an increased sale, the increase of costs of stock financing, and better results. Favorable conditions can also cause negative effects, because the mass of accounts receivable increases with the increasing sale, as well as the costs of their financing, and it reflects badly on the enterprise profitability.There is a possible risk that not all accounts receivable will be paid, and these unpaid account receivable influence negatively on profitability because they cannot be transformed into money. In the same way, costs of their financing and the loss of the substance that cannot be collected and invest into production influence negatively on profitability. Turnover coefficients and the average period of accounts receivable payment are important for consumer financial management. Short terms of paying cancause the consumer’s bad temper and decision to buy in the competitive shop. This would be dangerous for the seller, as it would be manifested in the form of safe decrease, stock increase and the costs theirs financing, reflecting the decrease of results and profitability. The longer terms of payment, the less will be the credit participation and the less will be interest rate. It shows how many average total accounts receivable are collected in the course of the year, and it is expressed by the proportion of credit sale income and the average balance of consumers. The enterprise, beside the above cited, should take care of preserving the substance of accounts receivable because of the inflationary trends in unstable conditions. The real value of accounts receivable decreases and we collect it in the nominal amount for which fewer commodities can be bought under conditions of price increase. Inflationary losses can be decreased by selling and collecting the commodities in cash.4.Analysis of the Structure of the Consumers AccountsMaking and analysis of the time structure of the costumers accounts receivable is in fact an unavoidable revision procedure for evaluating the accounts receivable.The auditor or the client’s agent can make the time classification and grouping of accounts receivable of every consumer from the aspect of time (from 30 days to 60, to 90 days and over 90 days).The following activities have to be done in evaluating accounts receivable:•Efficiency evaluation of the client’s policies, approval of credit accounts receivable payment and the procedures of evaluation to correct the values of suspicious and questionable accounts receivable. If there is a credit department in the enterprise responsible for the customers being late in meeting their liabilities of many unpaid accounts, the evaluation of the client’s credit risk is an important indicator in decision making. In evaluating and controlling risk (i.e. minimizing credit risk), the auditor will accept the evaluation.•Ratio numbers and statistical analysis include the most important and the most informative indicators:consum ersof balance average incom e sale t coefficien turnover Average = How many accounts receivable turnover per year on the average, i.e. how much money per a single monetary unit of accounts receivable is income, the cited indicator shows:tcoefficien turnover average year a in days of num ber receivable Accounts the of tim e Average = Average time of the Accounts receivable = number of days in a yearaverage turnover coefficientThe indicator determines the average number of days from the day of sale to the day of payment. As indicators that are of a great importance, can be mentioned:•Participation of accounts receivable values corrections in total accounts receivable.•Participation of expenditures, i.e. writing off accounts receivable in the aggregate income and expenditure.•Participation of every time structure (for example, till 30 days, till 60 days, till 90 days, and over 90 days) in the aggregate amount of accounts receivable.To calculate the cited indicators, we can take the data from the current year, the previous year, planned data, branch data, and so on. This can refer an auditor to the following situations:•Increase of the number of written off accounts receivable.•General slowdown of accounts receivable payment.•Increase of the number of accounts that are paid slowly.•Increase of the consumer complaints regarding to their accounts.•Increase of interests and costs caused by delay in payment ascribed to the consumer accounts after a subsequent writing off.5.ConclusionGlobalization as a trend of the contemporary conditions requires the harmonization in all the spheres of human activities, as well as in accounting. Thecontemporary business cannot stand losses so it is necessary to have financial reports that will be transparent. Accounting information in financial reports should be objective (among the other things, accounts receivable are in the focus of this activity) in order to make adequate business decisions.In the majority of enterprises, accounts receivable are an important item; therefore, it is very important to manage them efficiently in order to realize some economic benefits.Credit sale is unavoidability and the enterprises should get used to it. General economic business conditions and the credit policy of an enterprise are the factors determining the volume of credit sale and investment of the enterprise in accounts receivable. The enterprise can exert influence on the level of accounts receivable through the policy of crediting and accounts receivable payment. The aim of accounts receivable management leads to the maximization of differences between the benefit of credit sale and costs originating from the accounts receivable. The enterprises establish some credit policy to perfect credit standards, policy of accounts receivable payment and credit terms.Accounts receivable have a direct influence on the enterprise liquidity, therefore on business performance. Thus, every enterprise wants to have the right information about how many available accounts receivable will transfer into money in the future period. The enterprise management can keep liquidity at the high level by rational management of accounts receivable, among other things.中文译文:应收账款管理——全球化条件下的重要任务摘要当今世界具有商业变化频繁、不确定性与风险并存的特点,故而应收账款管理是全球化条件下的一项重要任务。
Accounts ReceivableAuthor: M. Elizabeth Haywood, Donald.IntroductionAccounts receivable consists of monies due from customers as a result of an organization's normal business operations. The management of accounts receivable is an extremely important function since the collection of outstanding receivables represents the single most important source of cash for all organizations selling goods on open account. Because of the impact that accounts-receivable collections have on cash flow, it is important that responsibility for the day-to-day management of credit and collections activities be delegated to a single individual within the organization.Accounts Receivable as a Current AssetOn the balance sheet, accounts receivable is reported as a current asset and is considered part of an organization's working capital. As a current asset, accounts receivable is expected to be turned into cash within the annual operating cycle of a business, which for most businesses is generally considered to be one year and corresponds to the twelve-month fiscal year used for financial reporting purposes. This, however, does not imply that it should take one year to collect individual receivable balances.In the case of a university press, accounts receivable represents a major component of current assets, working capital, and cash flow. The other major components of a university press's working capital are cash, short-term investments, and inventory. As a component of working capital, accounts receivable must be carefully managed in order to be turned into cash as quickly as possible and to avoid becoming uncollectible. Although accounts receivable is reported as a current asset, it must be carefully valuated and reported because until the receivable is collected, it cannot readily assist with the paying of current obligations.Accounts Receivable and Collections ReportsBecause of the significance of accounts receivable it is important for management to receive periodic reports that both measure the effectiveness of collection activities and inform or alert management of problem accounts. Ideally, reports should be generated on a monthly basis, but depending on the size of the receivable balance and collections staff, the issuance of such reports may range from weekly to quarterly. This flow of information is necessary so that management and collections staff can determine whether current credit and collections policies and procedures are working, or whether any of the policies and procedures need to be changed to more effectively collect outstanding receivables. Additionally, the collections staff needs information so that collection activities can be prioritized, problem accounts isolated, and outstanding balances collected.Analysis of Accounts Receivable and CollectionsA number of methods are used to measure accounts-receivable balances and the effectiveness of collection policies and procedures. Some of the more frequently used methods to analyze accounts receivable and collections includeA/R at Year End as a Percentage of Total Sales. This ratio is computed by dividing the fiscal year-end A/R balance by fiscal year net sales. The AAUP Statistical Survey reported averages between 21.6 percent and 23.0 percent for fiscal years 1992 through 1995. This ratio can also be computed at any time during the year; however, to get a meaningful ratio, the A/R balance must be divided by net sales for the most recent twelve months.Average Collection Period. This ratio is an indication of the average number of days required to convert receivables into cash. Ideally, the computation should use a monthly average of receivables and include only credit sales. A monthly average of receivables should be used in order to offset any fluctuations that may occur during the year. Additionally, only credit sales should be used in this computation since cash sales usually do not involve any credit risk. The computation of the average collection period is a two-step process. First divide total sales (preferably credit sales only) for the fiscal year by 365. This calculation yields the amount of credit sales per day. Then divide the year-end receivable balance (or average monthly receivable balance) by the credit sales per day. The result is the average collection period in days. The AAUP Statistical Survey reported average collection periods of 77 to 91 days for fiscal year 1995 and 80 to 95 days for fiscal year 1994.A/R Aging Schedule. This is a periodic report used to determine the priorities of collection activities. An aging schedule lists all customer accounts with outstanding balances as of the date of the aging schedule, one account per line. Across the line, the total amount due is broken down, or aged, by overdue The overdue categories generally include current (not yet due), 1 to 30 days past due, 30 to 60 days past due, 60 to 90 days past due, and over 90 days past due. The aging categories may need to be adjusted to properly reflect an organization's terms of sales.A/R Aging by Customer Type or Payment Terms. This is a variation of the A/R Aging Schedule and can be used to more effectively target accounts that require the attention of the collections staff. A more focused schedule also allows comparisons to be drawn between similar accounts.Bad Debt Expense as Percentage of Total Sales. This ratio is computed by dividing year-end bad debt expense by net sales. The AAUP Statistical Survey reported averages of 0.4 percent and 0.5 percent for fiscal years 1992 through 1995.Bad Debt Expense as Percentage of A/R Balance. This ratio is computed by dividing year- end bad debt expense by the year-end (or average) A/R balance. The AAUP Statistical Survey reported averages between 1.8 percent and 2.0 percent for the fiscal years 1992 through 1995. Credit Department Monthly Report. This is a summary report that helps management monitor the monthly accounts-receivable status and collections activities. A typical report would include current month and prior month balances for accounts receivable, total collections, and total net sales. Additionally, some ratios might be included, such as the average collectionsperiod. Bad debt comparison would include bad debt write-off for the current month, fiscal year to date, and last fiscal year to date. Finally, a summary of the number of accounts and balances in each aging category should be included. There is no universal, or standard, format for this type of report. For a credit department monthly report to be truly effective, it must be tailored to the needs and reporting capabilities of each individual press. The idea of this report is to provide management with a one-page summary of collection results each month.The percentage ratios (A/R as percentage of net sales, bad debt as percentage of net sales, and bad debt as percentage of A/R balance) are only useful when compared to industry averages (such as AAUP statistics) or to historical data for your particular university press. Average collection period, on the other hand, has to be analyzed on a press-by-press basis because of differences in publishing programs and in the allocation of sales among types of customers that may have different terms of payment. An overall comparison to industry averages may or may not be helpful in analyzing a press's average collection period.When analyzing accounts receivable it is important to remember that there are no universal standards for measuring accounts receivable and collections. Each press must evaluate its own situation and develop individual internal trends and goals. It is, of course, helpful to review AAUP averages to assist in your internal evaluation. How ever, one must remember that AAUP and other industry averages are only averages and should never be considered the ideal. Also, when performing internal analysis it is important to take cyclical sales patterns and unusual events into consideration and to take caution to measure accounts receivable and collections results with similar periods.Credit Management and Bad DebtPress management and the collections staff also need to realize that it is impossible to reduce accounts receivable beyond a certain point, nor should an organization strive for no bad debts. Each press must develop its own level of satisfaction and its own comfort zone in order to know when and on which accounts to concentrate collections efforts. Likewise, each press must develop its own level of comfort in determining when to sell to new accounts. It is important to expect some level of bad debt, because with no, or a very low level of, bad debts, the press is not maximizing its sales potential. Presses have to be willing to take some chances to increase sales, while at the same time understanding that not all chances taken will yield positive results. Presses that are more aggressive in granting credit must make sure that an adequate reserve for bad debt is maintained on the balance sheet or budget for a possible increase in bad debt expense.Proactive Credit ManagementIn addition to analyzing accounts receivable and reviewing internal trends and past performance, and organization must be as proactive as possible to maximize collections. The organization that calls first will usually get paid first. To keep on top of collections it is important to have written collection policies and terms. These written policies must have the agreement and support of management, marketing, and the collections staff. Written policies should be reviewed annually and updated as needed to incorporate any changes that are taking place in the press's publishing program.Having policies and procedures in writing should eliminate discrepancies in what customers are told by the collections, customer service, and marketing staffs. This will then give the customer one less excuse for delaying payment. Additionally, when all members of the press staff are knowledge able about the press's credit and collections policies and are aware of how past-due accounts are handled, they can more effectively work together to maximize sales and minimize bad debt.The analysis of accounts receivable and collections performance should be used to assist the press in setting goals for future performance. However, accounts-receivable analysis will not be of any real benefit unless the press has a proactive credit and collections program in place that has the support of press management and is communicated effectively to all press departments and customers.M.

INTRODUCTIONAccounts receivable is the money owed to a company as a result of having sold its products to customers on credit. The primary determinants of the company's investment in accounts receivable are the industry, the level of total sales along with the company's credit and the collection policies.Accounts receivable management includes establishing a credit and collections policy.Credit policy consists of four variables: credit period, discounts given for early payment, credit standards and collection policy. The three primary issues in accounts receivable management are to whom credit should be extended, the terms of the creditand the procedure that should be used to collect the money.The major decision regarding accounts receivable is the determination of the amount and terms of credit to extend to customers. The total amount of accounts receivable outstanding at any given time is determined by two factors: the volume of credit sales and the average length of time between sales and collections. The credit terms offered have a direct bearing on the associated costs and revenue to be generated from receivables. If credit terms are tight, there will be less of an investment in accounts receivable and fewer bad debt losses, but there will also be lower sales and reduced profits.We hypothesize that by applying scientifically-based accounts receivable management and by establishing a credit policy that results in the highest net earnings, companies can earn a satisfactory profit as well as a return on investment.The purpose of this study is to determine ways of finding an optimal accounts receivable level along with making optimum use of different credit policies in order to achieve a maximum return at an acceptable level of risk. In striving to fill in the gaps relating to net savings from changes in credit policy, the study makes its own contribution to research and thereby to managers by giving them general recommendation. With the aim of completing these gaps, the study will investigate accounts receivables, their management and explore costs and benefits from changes in credit policy as well as net profitability.When a company is considering changes in its credit policy in order to improve its income, incremental profitability must be compared with the cost of discount andthe opportunity cost associated with higher investment in accounts receivable.The outcome represents a new mathematical model for calculating net savings from changes in credit policy and with this model a company can consider different credit policies as well as changes in credit policy in order to improve its income and profitability.2. LITERATURE REVIEW2.1. Accounts receivable managementAccounts receivable represents a sizable percentage of most firms' assets. Investments in accounts receivable, particularly for manufacturing companies, represent a significant part of short-term financial management. Firms typically sell goods and services on both cash and a credit basis. Firms would rather sell for cash than on credit, but competitive pressures force most firms to offer credit. The extension of trade credit leads to the establishment of accounts receivable. Receivables represent credit sales that have not been collected. As the customers pay these accounts, the firm receives the cash associated with the original sale. If the customer does not pay an account, a bad debt loss is incurred1.When a credit sale is made, the following events occur: inventories are reduced by the cost of goods sold, accounts receivable are increased by the sales price, and the difference is profit, which is added to retained earnings. If the sale is for cash, then the cash from the sale has actually been received by the firm, but if the sale is on credit, the firm will not receive the cash from the sale unless and until the account iscollected. Carrying receivable has both direct and indirect costs, but it also has an important benefit-increased sales.According to Chambers and Lacey there are three primary issues in the management of accounts receivable: to whom to extend credit, what the terms of the credit should be, and what procedure should be used to collect the money. Extending credit should be based upon a comparison of costs and benefits. The analysis must build in uncertainty because we are uncertain of future payment, and we will handle this by computing the expected costs and expected benefits through payment probabilities. The potential cost of extending credit is that the customer will not pay. Although there is a temptation to compute this cost as the full price of the product, it is almost always more appropriate to use the actual cost of the product. The potential benefit of extending credit is not just the hope for profit on the one transaction; rather, it is the potential value of the customer for a long-term relationship.The decision of how much credit to offer must be made when the customer initially requests credit and when the customer requests additional credit. The fundamental principle that guides financial decisions can be used: marginal benefit versus marginal cost. The marginal cost is the additional potential lost costs of the product. The costs of past uncollected sales are sunk costs and should not be included as a marginal costs. The marginal benefits are the potential sales and interest revenues – including the potential to recover past sales that remain uncollected.Once the decision to grant credit has been made, the firm must establish the terms of the credit. Credit terms are often separated into two parts: the credit periodand the credit discount.Collection of accounts receivable is an important process for a corporation and requires a well-designed and well-implemented policy. One technique is the factoring of accounts receivables. In a typical factoring arrangement, one firm will sell their accounts receivable outright to another firm for an agreed-upon price. There ia usually no recourse in such transactions, such that the buyer (also known as the factor) takes the loss if the purchaser of the goods does not ultimately pay for them.Another technique to expedite the receipt of accounts receivable is to utilize lock boxes. Lock boxes are payment collection locations spread geographically so as to reduce the amount of time required for checks mailed to the firm to be deposited and cleared. The lock boxes are typically post office box addresses from which deposits go directly to a bank on the day of receipt. The reduction of mailing time and check clearing time for the banks can produce significant savings when large sums of money are involved.Payments of accounts receivable should be closely monitored to detect potential problems such as would be indicated by slow payments. Following up on slow-paying customers is an important function of the credit department. Procedures should be carefully developed and consistently implemented.The major decision regarding accounts receivable is the determination of the amount and terms of credit to extend to customers. The total amount of accounts receivable is determined by two factors: the volume of credit sales and the average length of time between sales and collections. The credit terms offered have a directbearing on the associated costs and revenue to be generated from receivables.In evaluating a potential customer’s ability to pay, consideration should be given to the firm’s integri ty, financial soundness, collateral to be pledged, and current economic conditions. A customer’s credit soundness may be evaluated through quantitative techniques such as regression analysis. Bad debt losses can be estimated reliably when a company sells to many customers and when its credit policies have not changed for a long period of time. In managing accounts receivable, the following procedures are recommended:• establish a credit policy• establish a policy concerning billing• establish a policy concerning collection.The establishment of a credit policy can include the following activities:• A detailed review of a potential customer’s soundness should be made prior to extending credit. Procedures such as a careful review of the customer’s fin ancial statements and credit rating, as well as a review of financial service reports are common.• As customer financial health changes, credit limit should be revised.• Marketing factors must be noted since an excessively restricted credit policy will lead to lost sales.• The policy is financially appropriate when the return on the additional sales plus the lowering in inventory costs is greater than the incremental cost associated with the additional investment in accounts receivable.The following procedures are recommended in establishing a policy concerning billing:• Customer statements should be sent within 1 day subsequent to the close of the period.• Large sales should be billed immediately.• Customers should be invoiced for goods when t he order is processed rather than when it is shipped.• Billing for services should be done on an interim basis or immediately prior to the actual services. The billing process will be more uniform if cycle billing is employed.• The use of seasonal dating’s should be considered.In establishing a policy concerning collection the following procedures should be used:• Accounts receivable should be aged in order to identify delinquent and high-risk customers. The aging should be compared to industry norms.• Collection efforts should be undertaken at the very first sign of customer financial unsoundness6.2.2. Managing the credit policyThe success or failure of a business depends primarily on the demand for its products.The major determinants of demand are sales prices, product quality, advertising,and the company’s credit policy. The financial manager is responsible for administering the company’s credit policy. Receivables management begins with the credit policy. Credit policy consists of four major components: credit standards, credit terms, the credit limit and collection procedures.Credit standards refer to the required financial strength of acceptable credit customers.Based on financial analysis and non financial data, the credit analyst determines whether each credit applicant exceeds the credit standard and thus qualifies for credit. Lower credit standards boost sales, but also increase bad debts. The minimum standards a customer must meet to be extended credit are: character, capital, capacity, conditions and collateral.The credit period, stipulating how long from the invoice the customer has to pay, and the cash discount together comprise the seller’s credit terms. A company’s credit terms are usually very similar to that of other companies in its industry7.Discounts given for early payment include the discount percentage and how rapidly payment must be made to qualify for the discount.If credit is extended, the dollar amount that cumulative credit purchases can reach for a given cus tomer constitutes that customer’s credit limit. The customer periodically pays for credit purchases, freeing up that amount of the credit limit for further orders. The two primary determinants of the amount of a customer’s credit limit are requirements for the supplier’s products and the ability of the customer to pay its debts. The latter factor is based primarily on the customer’s recent paymentrecord with the seller and others and a review and analysis of the customer’s most recent financial statements8Detailed statements regarding when and how the company will carry out collection of past-due accounts make up the company’s collection procedures. These policies specify how long the company will wait past the due date to initiate collection efforts, the methods of contact with delinquent customers, and whether and at what point accounts will be referred to an outside collection agency9.Collection policy is measured by its toughness or laxity in attempting to collect on slow-paying accounts. A tough policy may speed up collections, by it might also anger customers, causing them to take their business elsewhere10A firm may liberalize its credit policy by extanding full credit to presently limited credit customers or to non-credit customers. Full credit should be given only if net profitability occurs. A financial manager has to compare the earnings on sales obtained to the added cost of the receivables. The additional earnings represent the contribution margin on the incremental sales because fixed costs are constant. The additional costs on the additional receivables result from the greater number of bad debts and the opportunity cost of tying up funds in receivables for a longer time period.If a firm considers offering credit to customers with a higher-than-normal risk rating, the profitability on additional sales generated must be compared with the amount of additional bad debts expected, higher investing and collection costs, and the opportunity cost of tying up funds in receivables for a longer period of time. Whenidle capacity exists, the additional profitability represents the incremental contribution margin (sales less variable costs) since fixed costs remain the same.译文公司应收账款的管理埃莉奥诺拉克罗地亚预算和财务部门经理1.引言应收账款是指由于企业将其产品销售给客户而应向购买单位收取的款项。

Accounts ReceivableAuthor: M. Elizabeth Haywood, Donald.IntroductionAccounts receivable consists of monies due from customers as a result of an organization's normal business operations. The management of accounts receivable is an extremely important function since the collection of outstanding receivables represents the single most important source of cash for all organizations selling goods on open account. Because of the impact that accounts-receivable collections have on cash flow, it is important that responsibility for the day-to-day management of credit and collections activities be delegated to a single individual within the organization.Accounts Receivable as a Current AssetOn the balance sheet, accounts receivable is reported as a current asset and is considered part of an organization's working capital. As a current asset, accounts receivable is expected to be turned into cash within the annual operating cycle of a business, which for most businesses is generally considered to be one year and corresponds to the twelve-month fiscal year used for financial reporting purposes. This, however, does not imply that it should take one year to collect individual receivable balances.In the case of a university press, accounts receivable represents a major component of current assets, working capital, and cash flow. The other major components of a university press's working capital are cash, short-term investments, and inventory. As a component of working capital, accounts receivable must be carefully managed in order to be turned into cash as quickly as possible and to avoid becoming uncollectible. Although accounts receivable is reported as a current asset, it must be carefully valuated and reported because until the receivable is collected, it cannot readily assist with the paying of current obligations.Accounts Receivable and Collections ReportsBecause of the significance of accounts receivable it is important for management to receive periodic reports that both measure the effectiveness of collection activities and inform or alert management of problem accounts. Ideally, reports should be generated on a monthly basis, but depending on the size of the receivable balance and collections staff, the issuance of such reports may range from weekly to quarterly. This flow of information is necessary so that management and collections staff can determine whether current credit and collections policies and procedures are working, or whether any of the policies and procedures need to be changed to more effectively collect outstanding receivables. Additionally, the collections staff needs information so that collection activities can be prioritized, problem accounts isolated, and outstanding balances collected.Analysis of Accounts Receivable and CollectionsA number of methods are used to measure accounts-receivable balances and the effectiveness of collection policies and procedures. Some of the more frequently used methods to analyze accounts receivable and collections includeA/R at Year End as a Percentage of Total Sales. This ratio is computed by dividing the fiscal year-end A/R balance by fiscal year net sales. The AAUP Statistical Survey reported averages between 21.6 percent and 23.0 percent for fiscal years 1992 through 1995. This ratio can also be computed at any time during the year; however, to get a meaningful ratio, the A/R balance must be divided by net sales for the most recent twelve months.Average Collection Period. This ratio is an indication of the average number of days required to convert receivables into cash. Ideally, the computation should use a monthly average of receivables and include only credit sales. A monthly average of receivables should be used in order to offset any fluctuations that may occur during the year. Additionally, only credit sales should be used in this computation since cash sales usually do not involve any credit risk. The computation of the average collection period is a two-step process. First divide total sales (preferably credit sales only) for the fiscal year by 365. This calculation yields the amount of credit sales per day. Then divide the year-end receivable balance (or average monthly receivable balance) by the credit sales per day. The result is the average collection period in days. The AAUP Statistical Survey reported average collection periods of 77 to 91 days for fiscal year 1995 and 80 to 95 days for fiscal year 1994.A/R Aging Schedule. This is a periodic report used to determine the priorities of collection activities. An aging schedule lists all customer accounts with outstanding balances as of the date of the aging schedule, one account per line. Across the line, the total amount due is broken down, or aged, by overdue categories. The overdue categories generally include current (not yet due), 1 to 30 days past due, 30 to 60 days past due, 60 to 90 days past due, and over 90 days past due. The aging categories may need to be adjusted to properly reflect an organization's terms of sales.A/R Aging by Customer Type or Payment Terms. This is a variation of the A/R Aging Schedule and can be used to more effectively target accounts that require the attention of the collections staff. A more focused schedule also allows comparisons to be drawn between similar accounts.Bad Debt Expense as Percentage of Total Sales. This ratio is computed by dividing year-end bad debt expense by net sales. The AAUP Statistical Survey reported averages of 0.4 percent and 0.5 percent for fiscal years 1992 through 1995.Bad Debt Expense as Percentage of A/R Balance. This ratio is computed by dividing year- end bad debt expense by the year-end (or average) A/R balance. The AAUP Statistical Survey reported averages between 1.8 percent and 2.0 percent for the fiscal years 1992 through 1995. Credit Department Monthly Report. This is a summary report that helps management monitor the monthly accounts-receivable status and collections activities. A typical report would include current month and prior month balances for accounts receivable, total collections, and total net sales. Additionally, some ratios might be included, such as the average collectionsperiod. Bad debt comparison would include bad debt write-off for the current month, fiscal year to date, and last fiscal year to date. Finally, a summary of the number of accounts and balances in each aging category should be included. There is no universal, or standard, format for this type of report. For a credit department monthly report to be truly effective, it must be tailored to the needs and reporting capabilities of each individual press. The idea of this report is to provide management with a one-page summary of collection results each month.The percentage ratios (A/R as percentage of net sales, bad debt as percentage of net sales, and bad debt as percentage of A/R balance) are only useful when compared to industry averages (such as AAUP statistics) or to historical data for your particular university press. Average collection period, on the other hand, has to be analyzed on a press-by-press basis because of differences in publishing programs and in the allocation of sales among types of customers that may have different terms of payment. An overall comparison to industry averages may or may not be helpful in analyzing a press's average collection period.When analyzing accounts receivable it is important to remember that there are no universal standards for measuring accounts receivable and collections. Each press must evaluate its own situation and develop individual internal trends and goals. It is, of course, helpful to review AAUP averages to assist in your internal evaluation. How ever, one must remember that AAUP and other industry averages are only averages and should never be considered the ideal. Also, when performing internal analysis it is important to take cyclical sales patterns and unusual events into consideration and to take caution to measure accounts receivable and collections results with similar periods.Credit Management and Bad DebtPress management and the collections staff also need to realize that it is impossible to reduce accounts receivable beyond a certain point, nor should an organization strive for no bad debts. Each press must develop its own level of satisfaction and its own comfort zone in order to know when and on which accounts to concentrate collections efforts. Likewise, each press must develop its own level of comfort in determining when to sell to new accounts. It is important to expect some level of bad debt, because with no, or a very low level of, bad debts, the press is not maximizing its sales potential. Presses have to be willing to take some chances to increase sales, while at the same time understanding that not all chances taken will yield positive results. Presses that are more aggressive in granting credit must make sure that an adequate reserve for bad debt is maintained on the balance sheet or budget for a possible increase in bad debt expense.Proactive Credit ManagementIn addition to analyzing accounts receivable and reviewing internal trends and past performance, and organization must be as proactive as possible to maximize collections. The organization that calls first will usually get paid first. To keep on top of collections it is important to have written collection policies and terms. These written policies must have the agreement and support of management, marketing, and the collections staff. Written policies should be reviewed annually and updated as needed to incorporate any changes that are taking place in the press's publishing program.Having policies and procedures in writing should eliminate discrepancies in what customers are told by the collections, customer service, and marketing staffs. This will then give the customer one less excuse for delaying payment. Additionally, when all members of the press staff are knowledge able about the press's credit and collections policies and are aware of how past-due accounts are handled, they can more effectively work together to maximize sales and minimize bad debt.The analysis of accounts receivable and collections performance should be used to assist the press in setting goals for future performance. However, accounts-receivable analysis will not be of any real benefit unless the press has a proactive credit and collections program in place that has the support of press management and is communicated effectively to all press departments and customers.M.
