    7.1.1. Credit service 

    Credit represents an agreement to receive goods, services or money now and 
    pay for them in the future.
    Only you can decide how to spend your money and whether you will use credit. 
    These decisions should be based on your ability to repay credit debt, not just on 
    what you want to buy at the moment. To help you decide whether to use credit, 
    consider the advantages of credit.

    Advantages of Credit

      Management Accounting | Experimental Version | Student Book | Senior Six 

    Using credit has some advantages.

    Convenience: Using credit cards when you travel or shop is more convenient 
    than carrying cash. It also provides a handy record of transactions. Using a 
    credit card also may give you some bargaining power if there is a dispute or 
    disagreement involving a purchase.
    Use other people’s money: During the time between when you buy something 
    with credit and when you pay the bill, you’re actually using someone else’s 
    money rather than your own cash.
    Meet emergencies: Unexpected costs such as car repairs or health needs 
    can be met quickly with credit.
    Use something while you pay for it: You can enjoy using something you 
    need as you pay for it.
    Get something you can’t afford now: If you can’t afford to pay cash for a car 
    or other large purchase, using credit allows you to get it now.
    May get better service on something bought on credit: If you haven’t paid 
    for something entirely and a problem arises, it may be easier to get the service 
    needed.
    Take advantage of sales: If you truly have a need for something on sale and 
    don’t have the cash to get it, credit allows you to get it now.
    7.1.2. Age analysis and Financial Ratios
    In the age analysis and financial ratios, we consider the regular monitoring of 
    receivables to identify any potential issues. This may in turn prompt a more indepth enquiry similar to the initial granting of credit decision.
    Transactions with credit customers
    Once it has been agreed with a customer that they may trade on credit terms 
    with the business, an account will be set up for that customer in the receivables 
    ledger. The entries in this account will be invoices and credit notes sent to the 
    customer and receipts from the customer.
    One of the roles of the credit control team will be to monitor, on a regular basis, 
    the transactions on each receivable’s account and, in particular, the balance on 
    the account

     Placing an order

    Management Accounting | Experimental Version | Student Book | Senior Six

    The first step in monitoring of a credit customer’s activities is at the initial stage 
    of each transaction when the customer places an order for more goods. When 
    the initial agreement was made with the customer to trade on credit terms, a 
    credit limit will have been set by the credit controller for that customer.
    Credit limit refers to the maximum amount that should be outstanding on the 
    customer’s account in the receivables ledger at any point in time.
    When a customer places an order, check that value of the order does not take 
    the customer’s account over their credit limit. If the value of the order means that 
    the customer’s balance exceeds the credit limit then this must be discussed 
    with customer. 
     Review of customer account
    As well as checking that each order does not mean that the customer’s balance 
    exceeds their credit limit, each customer’s account should be monitored on a 
    regular basis. The review should involve looking for debts that are not being 
    paid within the stated credit terms and old debts that have not been paid at all.
    In order for this review of customer accounts to be meaningful, it is important 
    that the customer accounts are kept up to date and accurate so that the correct 
    balance and position can be seen at any point in time.
    Aged receivables analysis
    An aged receivables analysis is a method of internal communication that splits 
    the total balance on a customer’s account into amounts which have been 
    outstanding for a particular period of time. For example:
    Current-up to 30 days
    31 to 60 days
    61 to 9 days
    Over 90 days
    Using the aged receivables analysis
    The regular review of the aged receivables analysis should highlight the following 
    potential problems
    Credit limit exceeded
    Slow payer
    Recent debts cleared but older outstanding amounts

    Management Accounting | Experimental Version | Student Book | Senior Six
    Old amounts outstanding but no current trading
    Credit limit exceeded
    If the review of the aged receivables analysis indicates that a customer’s 
    credit limit has been exceeded then this must be investigated. If a customer 
    is highlighted in the aged receivables analysis as having exceeded his credit 
    limit then, normally the customer will be told that no further sales will be made 
    to him until at least some of the outstanding balances have been paid. In some 
    circumstances, liaison between the receivables ledger and the sales department 
    may result in an increase in the customer’s credit limit.
    Slow payers
    Some business can be identified from the aged receivables listing as being 
    slow payers: they always have amounts outstanding for, say 31-60 days and 
    61-90 days, as well as current amounts.
    In these cases consideration should be given to methods of encouraging the 
    customer to pay earlier. This could be in the form of a reminder letter or telephone 
    call or perhaps the offer of a settlement discount for earlier payment.
    Reminder letter: A reminder letter is a formal communication to encourage 
    payment.
    Recent debts cleared but older amount outstanding

    If a customer is generally a regular payer and fairly recent debts have been 
    cleared, but there is still an outstanding, this will normally indicate either a query 
    over the amount outstanding or a problem with the recording of the invoices, 
    credit notes or payment received. 
    Old amounts outstanding and no current trading
    This situation would be of some concern for the credit control team. It would 
    appear that the customer is no longer buying from the business but still owes 
    money from previous purchases. In this case the customer should be contacted 
    immediately and payment sought. If no contact can be made with the customer, 
    or there is a genuine problem with payment (such as bankruptcy or liquidation) 
    consideration should be given to writing off the debts as irrecoverable.
    The 80/20 Rule
    The 80/20 Rule is a generally observed effect. In general, 80% of the value of 
    amount owed by the customers will be represented by 20% of the customer 

    accounts.

    Management Accounting | Experimental Version | Student Book | Senior Six

    According to The 80/20 Rule, if the largest accounts (making up 20% of 
    customers) are reviewed frequently, this should mean that approximately 80% 
    of the total of receivables balances is regularly reviewed.
    The remaining smaller balances, making up only 20% of the receivables total, 
    can then be reviewed on a less-frequent basis.
    This is not an absolute law but just an observed tendency-all it means is that 
    population of data have concentrations-there is no reasons why it should be 
    exactly 80/20-it could be 70/30 for instance.
    Materiality
    Materiality is another approach when analyzing the receivables is to prioritize 
    the receivables ledger by taking into account the materiality or significance of 
    the debt. Thus, overdue debts below a certain amount should be ignored until 
    larger, more significant debts have been pursued as priority.
    This allows specific areas to be targeted by the credit control function of a 
    business to minimize losses due to irrecoverable debts or to improve cash flow. 
    It also takes into account that some debts may not be worth pursuing as the 
    time and costs involved may outweigh the likely benefits.
    Increase in credit limit
    There will be occasions when a customer specifically requests an increase in 
    credit limit. It may happen that the customer wishes to place an order which 
    will exceed the credit limit. The aged receivables listing can be a useful tool 
    in making a decision about any increase in credit limit, as it allows the credit 
    controller to see the trading history of the customer, whether or not they have 
    kept within their current limit in the past and paid according to their credit terms.
    Period of credit: It can be useful for a business to be able to determine the 
    average period of credit taken by its customers in total. If those figures are 
    compared over time then any improvement or deterioration of credit control 
    procedures can be observed. The most common method of measuring the 
    average period of credit is using the accounts receivable collection period.
    7.1.3. Incidence of Bad and doubtful debts

    The aged receivables analysis can also be used to identify debts which might 
    be irrecoverable. These consist of ‘bad’ or ‘irrecoverable debts’. Any debts that 
    are not paid will, of course, have a negative impact on the cash flow of the 
    organizations as working capital will be reduced by the comparative amount of 

    balances unpaid.

    Management Accounting | Experimental Version | Student Book | Senior Six

    rrecoverable and doubtful debts: An irrecoverable debt is one where it is almost 
    certain that the monies will not be received. A doubtful debt is one where there 
    is some doubt over the eventual receipt of the money, but it is not such a clear 
    case as an irrecoverable debt. The reason for the distinction between the two 
    is that in the financial accounting records an irrecoverable debt is written off, 
    and no longer appears in the ledger or on the statement of financial position, 
    whereas a doubtful debt has an allowance or a provision made against it-so it 
    still appears in the ledger, and on the statement of financial position where it is 
    neither off against the receivables balance.

    Identification of irrecoverable and doubtful debts
    The following indicate the potential irrecoverable debt:
    Evidence of long-outstanding debts from the aged receivables analysis
    A one-off outstanding debt when more recent debts have been cleared
    Correspondence with customers, e.g. Disputes
    Outstanding older debts and no current business with the customer
    A sudden or unexpected change in payment patterns
    Request for an extension of credit terms
    Press comment
    Information from the sales team
     Information about potential irrecoverable debts
    If a member of the credit control team discovers that a debt is highly likely to be 
    classified as irrecoverable or doubtful then it will probably not be that person’s 
    responsibility to write the debt off or set up an allowance against it. This is 
    normally the role of more senior member of the accounting function, as this will 
    impact on the preparation of the financial statement of a business.

    Professional ethics and irrecoverable and doubtful debts
    Writing off debts as irrecoverable will have an effect on reported profits and 
    issues can arise when debts are written off in one period and then subsequently 
    written back in another period in an attempt to smooth profits between 
    accounting periods.
    Accounting for debts should reflect the financial reality of the situation and 
    be dealt with adhering to the fundamental ethical principles of integrity and 

    objectivity. This means that the accounting should be completed with honesty

    Management Accounting | Experimental Version | Student Book | Senior Six

    and without any conflict of interest when reporting results of a business.

    7.2.1. Negotiation with the customer

    Most businesses will have a policy, whether formal or informal regarding the 
    collection of debts and the processes that will take place to chase up any 
    outstanding amounts. Adherence or otherwise to this policy should be the 
    starting point for customer communications and negotiations.
    Debt collection process
    Debt collection process starts with sending out of the sales invoice on which 
    the credit terms should be clearly stated. Thereafter, a variety of external 
    communications would be sent to the customer to encourage them to pay within 

    the credit terms and, for those overdue debts, a further series of reminders.

    Management Accounting | Experimental Version | Student Book | Senior Six

    A typical debt collection process can be illustrated:

    • Sales invoice

    Once a sale has been made a sales invoice can be sent to the customer. This 
    should be promptly sent, as soon as the goods or services have been provided, 
    and should clearly state the payment period agreed.
    • Statements
    Most businesses will then send a monthly statement to the customer, showing 
    the balance at the end of that month and how that is made up, including invoices, 
    credit notes and payment received.
    • Telephone calls
    An overdue debt is one which has not been paid within the stated credit period. 
    Once a debt has become overdue it is common practice to telephone the 
    customer to enquire about the situation, determine whether or not there is a 
    query over the amount due and agree when the debt will be paid.
    When making this type of telephone call, particular attention should be given to 
    the following matter:
    Discussion with the customer should always be courteous
    The precise amount of the debt should be pointed out, and the fact that it is 
    overdue
    It should be established whether there is any query with regard to the debt and, 
    if so, any appropriate action agreed to resolve the query
    If there is no query then a date for payment of the debt should be established

    It is important to keep precise notes of what has been agreed in a telephone

    Management Accounting | Experimental Version | Student Book | Senior Six

    conversation with a customer, as this may need to be confirmed by a letter. For 
    example, if a customer agrees over the telephone to clear an outstanding amount 
    by paying in 4 installments then this should be confirmed to the customer in 
    writing.
    • Reminder letters
    If there has been no response to the telephone calls requesting payment of 
    overdue amount then this is followed up with a reminder letter.
    The reminder letter will be sent out when the debts are a certain amount of time 
    overdue. The timescale of the reminder letter will depend up on organization’s 
    policy towards debt collection but usually it is sent out seven days after a debt 
    becomes overdue. Accordingly, if an invoice is sent to a customer with 30-days 
    credit terms, then the first reminder letter will be sent out of 37 days after the 
    invoice.
    Example of a typical first reminder letter is given below:
    Date: 
    Dear Sir/Madam,
    Account number: XXXXXXXX
    I do not appear to have received payment of the invoices detailed below. I trust 
    that this is an oversight and that you will arrange for immediate payment to be 
    made. If you are withholding payment for any reason, please could contact me 

    urgently and I will be pleased to assist you.


    Management Accounting | Experimental Version | Student Book | Senior Six

    The option for the business at this point is generally

    To put the debt into the hands of debt collection agency

    To take the customer to court for payment

    To suspend any further sales to the customer by placing the customer on a stop 

    list until payment is received

    An example of a typical stop list letter is given below:

    Date: 

    Dear Sir/Madam,
    Account number: XXXXXXXX
    Further to our invoices detailed below, and our previous correspondence I do 
    not appear to have received payment. I trust that this is an oversight and that you 
    will arrange for immediate payment to be made. If you are withholding payment 
    for any reason, please could you contact me urgently and I will be pleased to 

    assist you

    I regret that unless payment is received within the next seven days I will have 
    no alternative but to stop any further sales on credit to you until the amount 
    owing is cleared in full. If you have already made payment, please advise me and 
    accept my apology for having troubled you. Please note that if we are forced to 
    take a legal action you may become liable for the costs of such action which, if 
    successful, may affect your future credit rating.
    Yours sincerely,
    Controller
    • Setting Up a Stop List
    When all other avenues for encouraging payment according to the terms have 
    been exhausted, and it is sure that this is a long term issue, it is time to set up 
    a stop list.
    A stop list is effectively a blacklist of clients who are no longer to be supplied 
    in lieu of missed, late or incomplete payments. It is crucial that a stop list is 
    shared effectively with everyone in the organization, so everyone knows who is 
    on the list and to ensure they don’t provide any further goods or services whilst 

    payment remains outstanding.

    Management Accounting | Experimental Version | Student Book | Senior Six

    It is important to decide the terms of your stop list, and again share them with all 
    members of staff. The most common use is to record a list of customers who are 
    overdue on payment and whose access to new goods or services is restricted, 
    until such time as all outstanding payments have been made in full.
    • External means of debt collection 
    Customers with poor payment behavior and cases where collecting outstanding 
    receivables proves particularly difficult, can cost incalculable amounts of both 
    time and money. At times, the burdens they place on a company’s receivables 
    accounting become completely disproportionate to the debts in question. In 
    such situations, it is advisable to outsource debt recovery to external service 
    providers, who handle these specialized commercial and legal tasks in their 
    function as governmentally regulated legal-services professionals.
    In particularly difficult cases, collection services providers enforce claims by 
    exerting the necessary pressure. As experts in collecting third-party claims 
    in a businesslike manner, these companies have access to the instruments 
    necessary for successful debt recovery.
    7.2.2. Methods of debts collection
    With good credit management and control procedures in place, money will 
    normally be received from credit customers. Sometimes encouragement such 
    as reminder letters or telephone calls will be needed but payment should 
    eventually be received.
    There are specific methods that a business can use to minimize the possibility of 
    ether the loss of the debt or resorting to legal procedures. They include among 
    others:
    a) Liaising with debt collection agencies and solicitors
    b) Factoring
    c) Invoice discounting
    d) Debt insurance
    e) Settlement discounts
    a) Debt collection agencies and solicitors
    Debt collection agencies or credit collection agencies are commercial 
    organizations that specialize in the collection of debts. Most collection agencies 
    are paid by results and charge a percentage of the debts collected for the 
    business, although some require an advance subscription do their services.

    The use of appropriate methods for collecting the debts may include:

    Management Accounting | Experimental Version | Student Book | Senior Six

    Collection by telephone and letter
    Collection by personal visits
    Negotiation of a payment plan with the customer
    They are effective methods of collecting debts that are providing difficult to 
    obtain in the normal course of trading. As collection agencies tend to be viewed 
    as a normal business service they are unlikely to have an adverse impact on the 
    relationship between the business and its customers. However, the collection 
    agency does, of course, charge a fee for its services.
    Solicitor services can be utilized in the initial stages of the debt collection process 
    by sending a ‘Solicitor letter’ requesting payment. This can be a cost-effective 
    method of collection as many customers will settle on receipt to avoid further 
    legal action. If the customers refuse to pay, solicitors will have the knowledge 
    and experience to start the formal legal remedies that are available.
    b) Factoring services
    Factoring is a financing service provided by specialist financial institution, often 
    subsidiaries of major banks, whereby money can be advanced to a company on 
    the basis of the security of their trade receivables. A factor normally provides 3 
    main services and a company can take advantage of some or all of these:
    Provision of finance
    Administration of receivables ledger 
    Insurance against irrecoverable debts
    Provision of finance factor
    When sales on credit are made by a business, there will be a period of time 
    elapsing before the money for those sales is received from the business’s credit 
    customers. Many businesses may find that they require the cash sooner than 
    the customers are prepared to pay, for example to pay suppliers or reduce an 
    overdraft. This is particularly the case for fast growing companies.
    The factor advances a certain percentage of the books value of the trade 
    receivables, often about 80% as an immediate payment. The trade receivables 
    are then collected by the factor and the remaining 20%, less a fee, handed over 
    to the business when the amounts are received by the factor.
    There is obviously a charge for this service and this will tend to be in two parts:

    A service charge or commission charge

    Management Accounting | Experimental Version | Student Book | Senior Six

    An interest charge on amounts outstanding 
    One further hidden costs of factoring can be a loss of customer confidence 
    or goodwill, as customer will be aware that the business has factored its trade 
    receivables; this may have a negative impact on future relations. Many customers 
    will view the use of a factor as indication that a business is in financial difficulty, 

    despite the increasing use if factoring within business.

    Administration of the receivables ledger by a factor

    Many factoring arrangements go further than simply providing finance on the 
    security of the trade receivables; they will take over the entire administration of 
    the receivables ledger. This will tend to include the following:
    Assessment of credit status
    Sending out sales invoices and receipts
    Sending out statements
    Sending out reminders
    The benefit to the business is not only a cost-saving from not having to run its 
    own receivables ledger but also the expertise of the factor in this area. A fee will, 
    of course, be charged for this service-normally based upon on a percentage of 

    invoices.

    c) Insurance against irrecoverable debts
    Without recourse factoring, if a factor has total control over all aspects of 
    credit management of the receivables ledger then they may be prepared to offer 
    a without recourse factoring arrangement.
    This means that the factor has no right to claim against the business if a customer 
    doesn’t pay. Effectively, the factor is bearing the risk of any irrecoverable debts 

    and, naturally, will charge a higher fee for accepting this additional risk.

    With recourse factoring-In other circumstances the business will retain the 
    risk of irrecoverable debts and this is known as with recourse factoring.
    d) Invoice discounting
    Invoice discounting- One of the costs of factoring is the potential loss of 
    customer goodwill if it is known that the business is using factor to collect its 
    debts. The reason for this is that some customers may infer cash flow problems 
    from the use of a factor, which may not give them confidence to continue trading 

    with the business.

    Management Accounting | Experimental Version | Student Book | Senior Six

    An alternative therefore, is invoice discounting which is a service related to 
    factoring. Invoice discounting is where the debts of a business are purchased 
    by the provider of the service at a discount to their face value. The discounter 
    simply provides cash up front to the business at the discounted amount, rather 
    than have any involvement in the business receivable ledger.
    Under a confidential invoice discounting agreement the business is still 
    responsible for collecting its own debts. As a result, invoice discounting is often 
    chosen by the businesses which wish to retain control of their own receivables 
    ledger.
    The cost to the business is the discount at which the trade receivables are 
    purchased. Invoice discounting can be used for a portion of the trade receivables 
    only and is therefore other used for a short-term or one-off exceptional cash 

    requirement

    7.3.1. Internal reporting and write-offs

    A credit report is a statement that has information about the credit activity and 
    current credit situation such as credit paying history and the status of the credit 
    accounts.
    Lenders also use the credit report to determine whether customer continue to 
    meet the terms of an existing credit account. Credit reports often contain the 

    Personal information and Your Credit accounts

    A credit write-off and why it is necessary 

    Management Accounting | Experimental Version | Student Book | Senior Six

    A write-off is an accounting term for the formal recognition in the financial 
    statements that a borrower’s asset no longer has value. Usually, credits are 
    written off when they are 100 percent provisioned and there are no realistic 
    prospects of recovery. These credits are transferred to the off-balance sheet 
    records. Therefore, a write off is mandated when an account receivable 
    cannot be collected.
    Once a view is formed that a receivable may be potentially doubtful, or perhaps 
    even definitely unrecoverable, steps should be taken to report the manner 
    internally, and to provide for the doubtful debt, or intended write it off entirely.
    Illustration 
    A company has a receivable outstanding amounting to Frw 2.4 million including 
    VAT at 18%. The company is able to claim 90% of unpaid debts under their 
    debt insurance policy. Assume the VAT element can be claimed from the tax 
    authorities.
    Calculate the amount that can be claimed under the policy and any amount to 
    be written off as irrecoverable.
    Answer:
    (2.4 million/1.18*0.18)=366,102 VAT
    The net value of the invoice is 2,033,898.

    7.3.2. Presentation of Internal and external recommendation
    When presenting information to management, it is important to show any findings 
    or conclusions clearly. When looking at finance costs, such as the settlement 
    discount cost which is offered to customers to encourage early payment, it is 
    good practice to show the costs and benefits in implementing such a policy. 
    For example, the benefit of the discount will hopefully result in a better liquidity 
    position after taking into account the cost of the discount.
