Summary

"In today's global marketplace, competitive pressure and industry practice mandate that products and services be sold on a credit vs. cash-on-delivery basis. This practice often produces a receivables asset that is one of the largest tangible assets on a company's balance sheet. Surprisingly, management of this multimillion-dollar (and sometimes multibillion-dollar) asset rarely receives much senior-management attention, except when a serious problem develops. Accounts Receivable Management Best Practices examines the importance of managing accounts receivables and provides proven, field-tested principles for achieving such measurable benefits as increased cash flow, higher margins, and a reduction in bad debt loss." "This book is designed for all managers who are either directly responsible for managing the receivables asset - such as directors of customer financial services and credit managers - or indirectly responsible - such as controllers, treasurers, and CFOs."--BOOK JACKET.
