Credit Management, Debt Collection and Accounts Receivables in Ghana
Classroom cohorts in Accra · live online · in-house anywhere in Ghana
Sales mean little until the cash arrives, and a growing pile of overdue invoices can starve even a profitable business of working capital. The week starts with credit policy design: setting terms, limits and approval authorities that support sales without inviting bad debt. You will assess creditworthiness using financial statements, trade references, credit bureau reports and simple scoring models, then monitor accounts through ageing schedules, days sales outstanding and collection effectiveness measures. Sessions on invoicing accuracy, dispute resolution and cash application show how many late payments start inside the company itself.
Collection topics include a staged recovery process, persuasive calls and letters, payment plans, handling difficult debtors and deciding when to use agencies or legal action, all within consumer protection and data rules. Provisioning for doubtful debts under IFRS 9 expected credit loss and write-off procedures are also explained. Exercises use sample ledgers to prioritise accounts and script collection conversations. Credit controllers, accounts receivable staff, finance managers and sales administrators in trading, manufacturing, utilities and services firms will find it useful. Afterwards you can tighten credit decisions and bring overdue balances down steadily.
