Managing accounts receivables therefore must be a TOP priority for every business. At a time, when the world is full of negative statistics, warnings, and dire economic projections, and you know of a recession coming soon, or you just simply want to learn the strategies that can otherwise help you weather through any storm or tough time- this is the book! Credit Management is the heart of an organizations very survival. Many studies carried out on the growing sickness in industries & businesses reveal that BAD DEBT is the ONE major cause for bankruptcy. One cannot afford to take this area of credit control & accounts receivables management so lightly, as too many companies everyday are mounting with debts that are increasingly doubtful of recovery. A company can have the finest product, a superb sales record and the most dedicated workforce, but if it does not get paid for its goods, and on time, it will die. An unpaid debt is an unsecured loan being financed by your company. When you no longer control your debtors, the cost of financing your company's cash flow is at the mercy of those very same debtors. If a business wishes to survive and prosper in today’s economic environment it must pay close attention to all of this. Managing Credit and Collecting Money (your Accounts Receivables), on time, every time, therefore are the 2 most important and vital factors which decide the fate of any business! Predictions confirm that outstanding receivables will rise even more, thus making Accounts Receivables as a top priority for CFO's to enhance liquidity and optimize working capital. Unpaid invoices and past due receivables will cost a lot- enabling businesses to suffer in a number of ways and can even pull down the entire business. But a consistent and steady cash flow will keep businesses all oiled up and running smoothly enabling one to plan a future of growth including, expanding, hiring more employees, investing in other companies, diversifying product lines, and making one look good to investors and more.
