Accounts Receivable Management and Development of Credit Policies Training
Late payments drain working capital faster than almost any other risk, and a vague credit policy is usually where the problem starts. You will learn to write a credit policy your sales team can actually follow, set credit limits and payment terms, and score new and existing customers using financial statements, trade references, payment history and credit bureau data. Receivables ageing analysis and days sales outstanding show where cash is trapped and which accounts need attention first. Sector examples cover distributors, manufacturers, utilities and professional services firms, so the methods fit your own customer base.
Collections sessions design an escalation process that is firm without damaging good client relationships, covering reminder schedules, telephone techniques, payment plans and dispute resolution. You will also examine provisioning for bad debts, credit insurance, legal recovery options and the monthly reports that keep management informed. Credit controllers, accounts receivable teams, finance managers, sales administrators and business owners get the most practical value from it. Each participant takes home a draft credit policy, customer risk scoring sheet and collection scripts ready to adapt for their own organization.
