Debtor Management (Finance)



Company can sell the goods on credit or cash. Cash sale is inflow of cash and it is controlled under cash flow analysis. But credit sale creates sundry debtors. Company has to receive money from them. If company starts to sell on return of cash, then it decreases the level of company’s sale and profitability. On the other side, if company promotes credit sale, it can increase the risk of bad debts. So, it is required to control and to manage debtors.
