Account receivables (AR) happen to be a major part of assets of a company. It is an important source of cash inflow in the account books and hence a crucial thing for a business as it impacts the future cash flow of the company.
As a part of the business, a company provides credit facility to its clients to make transaction process more favorable to them which also help strengthen credit relationship with the customer. AR has a direct impact on the success of a company.
Therefore, a company has to focus on bringing a robust AR management system. If delay happens in payments from customers, a company may inch closer to a cash flow shortage. Consequently, the company may have to face a hard time in future, if AR management doesn’t improve. So, it can be said that accounts receivables has the ability to determine the future of a business.
A good command over accounts receivables is crucial. The management system involves more than just reminding customers of pending bills and to release the payment on time. More than that, it also emphasizes on the reasons why the customer has not paid, and pin points loopholes that led the customer to skip the process. It may be because of administrative error or undelivered products or services.
Proper management of AR requires a lot of things:
- Identifying late payments in due time
- Determining a customer’s credit rating in advance
- Scanning them for credit risks
- Looking for complaints and resolutions in due time
- Lowering the total balance outstanding (DSO)
- Maintaining good customer relationships
