Chapter 6 – Controlling Accounts Receivables
Question 1. Are credit checks performed before terms are granted to customers? Describe the process.
Conducting credit checks is highly recommended prior to setting terms granted to customers. In this way, the business owner would be able to prevent bad debts that would affect the company’s financial status.
To do so, the business must run a credit check on customers. Some private institutions provide credit services wherein they run background checks on individuals. The business may opt to charge customers with a credit check fee and then have them fill in forms where the customers consent to having a credit check run. After the results of the credit check, the business may then decide whether to transact with a customer. If they agree to a transaction, the business sets the terms depending on the customer’s credit background, particularly his or her ability to pay for rendered products or services.
Question 2. What type of sale agreements do you have in place, which are signed before the sales takes place?
Prior to signing the contract, agreements during sales include policies on return and exchange, the purchase price, the description of the product or goods being sold, warranties, description of how the goods will be delivered, and other notes agreed upon by the buyer and the seller.
Question 3. What is your Accounts Receivables turnover?
The Accounts Receivables turnover must be high for the business to ensure that it does not incur bad debts.
Question 4. What is the procedure to receive payments from customers including the receiving of the mail, opening the mail, recording the transactions, and making deposits into the bank?
To receive payments from customers including the receiving of the mail, opening the mail, recording transactions, and making deposits into the bank, the business owner should have initially recorded the terms of the receivable during the time of sale. After receiving and opening the mail, the transactions must be recorded using invoices. After keeping track of the flow of cash through invoicing, the receivables may be forwarded to the auditors and accountant. The business owner would then make a decision on how it would be deposited in the company’s bank.
Question 5. Describe the procedure the company follows when receiving payments from customers. What documents are verified to insure payments match the invoice sent to customers?
When receiving payments from customers, the business verifies the term of receivables agreed upon between the business owner and the customer. To insure payments match the invoice sent to customers, records such as the aging schedule and the general journal may be used to check the invoice using the records.
Question 6. Is there an aging process for all Accounts Receivables accounts to better control receipts from customers and to collect from overdue accounts?

Invoice factoring, also known as accounts receivable factoring or simply factoring, is a financing option that allows businesses to sell their unpaid invoices to a third-party company, also known as a factor, in exchange for immediate cash.

Unit ii marketing-investment_(marketing_finance)[1]shrund
Trade credit arises when a firm sells products or services on credit and does not receive immediate cash payment. This creates accounts receivable that the firm expects to collect in the near future. Maintaining receivables involves costs such as capital costs from blocked financial resources, administrative costs for maintaining records, and collection costs. However, it also provides benefits like increased sales from offering credit and higher profits. Key factors that affect the size of receivables include sales levels, credit policies, terms of trade like credit periods and cash discounts. Firms must carefully manage receivables to limit risks and costs while maximizing benefits.
The document describes how customer journey should determine organizational structure through a concept called "Customercracy". It details a case study of a customer's frustrating experience opening a bank account online. Applying Customercracy principles, the organization should: 1) Focus on the customer journey and experience, 2) Organize processes around consistently meeting customer expectations at each step of the journey, and 3) Give employees authority to solve problems without callbacks in order to optimize the customer experience.
The document discusses barriers to starting technology innovation companies and how those barriers have become easier to overcome in recent years. Specifically, it addresses how infrastructure, investment, time, and talent barriers that once required significant money and resources can now be addressed more easily through cloud services, lower startup costs, leveraging existing customer bases, and outsourcing talent. The key is seeing opportunities rather than barriers and being willing to start small, test ideas quickly, and iterate based on customer feedback.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

2. Purpose: This document defines the issues arising out of mis-managed purchase function in an
organization and its real causes, which may impact the relation with vendor. The document further defines
the internal issues of procurement process and how vendor gets impacted due to these internal issues.
Overview: A standard purchase function has many different sub functions and stakeholders, who needs to
work seamlessly to ensure the optimum purchases are done at good price. For the sake of clarity in the
document we shall be focusing on internal stakeholders as one party and vendor as second party.
In a standard purchase cycle there are many internal steps like, material requirement planning,
identification of vendor, raising purchase order, receiving material, recording of financial invoice and
making vendor payments.
From vendor side following key links are maintained between vendor & internal stakeholder:
Registration of vendor
Providing quotes with good business terms such as high quality material or service at lower cost
and at the time of need.
Vendor invoicing, payments and debit notes
Vendor reconciliation process
A standard procure to pay process looks will have following key steps:
3. Internal challenges of procurement process
Generally, procurement and payable department of a company are responsible for developing a strong
partnership network on buy side of the business. In order to understand how partnership model is
developed we shall first understand what not to do with vendor or we can say key internal challenge of not
converting vendor into a partner:-
• Lack of Single Face: While developing any business relation, continuous communication is required, but
biggest challenge in most Procurement teams is that there is no continuity of face for communication
with vendor. Hence in case of issue/grievance a vendor needs to re-initiate discussion with new person
every time. This delays the process of settlement and in turn the vendor starts to lose confidence in the
company.
• On-going communication: In continuation to above point, another challenge is to follow a standard
practice of not updating or informing vendor about status of transactions. In addition to this vendor also
gets burdened with repeated requests from purchaser to provide the documents which were already
provided by to them.
• Poor Record Keeping: The repeat documents mentioned in above point reflects the lack document
management and record keeping practice in the company. Study shows a process driven company can
reduce the communication duplicity with vendor by 4 times by controlling the repeat requests.
• Incorrect data punching: One of the major challenge in delay in settling or recording vendor
transaction is data punching errors. Companies with no or minimum review mechanism have tendency
to delay the transaction posting process and in turn increases mis-communication with vendor.
• Delay in Payment Processing: historic trends suggest that the key reason for delay in vendor payment
is not shortage of funds rather it is due to delay in recording of liabilities and non-availability of vendor
information on due date. The moment vendor payment is delayed the perception vendor creates is that
the company does not have funds to discharge vendor liability, which demotivates him to become
partner of company.
4. Impact of challenges on business
Pointers highlighted above though are internal challenges of any organization, but they directly impact a key stake
holders sitting outside. Also, most of the companies spend fortunes for employees (who is an internal vendor) but
the same company fails to be fair when it comes to vendors, due to this thought process gap and internal challenges
an vendor fails to become partner of the company.
Let us also analyse the impact of the above issues and see how it impacts vendor relationship and in turn what are
negative impacts of this on the company.
• Loss of Goodwill: The moment vendor payment is delayed or there are miscommunications from
the company’s side, the vendor starts to get nervous about the payment and in turn tries to
follow up with the company. In case of inappropriate response the first loss that the company
faces is loss of goodwill, which has its own consequences in medium to long run.
• Loss of negotiation power: Once a vendor is dissatisfied, the direct and immediate financial
impact comes in terms of lower discounts, rigid payment terms and low credit limits. The
statistics suggest that cost of procurement of a process driven company could be substantially
lower than mismanaged companies in the same industry and this amount could actually go up to
5% of total cost.
• Loss on long term prospects: While a mismanaged company may just be treated as a vendor and
be required to procure in advance in case of material in short supply. A Process driven company
having developed a partner out of a vendor, can optimize the inventory buy moving towards Just
in Time (JIT) delivery model and drastically reducing inventory carrying cost.
5. How to improve current business processes
In-spite of identifying challenges and its implications it is not simple task to convert into a process driven
company. To become a process driven organization a series of sequential steps to taken over a period of
time, some of the key steps may be:
• Current State Assessment: in-order to lay down the roadmap for optimization of business process, the
first step could be to identify the current business challenges and their corresponding magnitude.
• Process design & documentation: once the depth of process is understood along with the challenges,
the next steps is to design the business process and document the same. Key pointers to be kept in
mind should be:
a) Process should be simple to follow
b) Clear input, processing and outputs to be defined
c) Roles & responsibilities to be clearly identified
d) Every process should be supported by appropriate reporting and exception tracking
• Process implementation: just designing or documenting proposed process may not achieve the
desired results for the organizations. In order to ensure optimum utilization the process needs to be
implemented appropriately. All the relevant stakeholders and users needs to understand the depth of
process document created. End user to given appropriate training to perform daily tasks.
• Review of implementation status: in-order to ensure that process has been defined, documented and
implemented as per the spirit of business, there is need of regular monitoring the process
implementation. This step also gives management a confidence about improvement of business process.
• Automation: one of key transformational step is to automate the business process, but the precondition
to automation is to have defined process in place. Hence the assumption of having automation at first is
not correct, rather companies should focus on defining processes and then automating the same.
Automation is generally done to remove the manual effort and to reduce the chances of manual data
punching errors.
