Receivables & collections
Billing & payments · Free reading guide
A useful receivables review connects invoice status with next actions. It should show which items need clarification, which are awaiting payment, and who owns the next conversation.
Build your understanding
- Use a consistent invoice status and aging review process.
- Document billing questions and agreed follow-up steps.
- Coordinate communications with the person responsible for the client relationship.
A practical starting exercise
Create a one-page map of this workflow using fictional examples. List the source information, the person who prepares it, the reviewer, and the question each step should answer. Mark any point where responsibility or evidence is unclear.
Bring those open questions to your supervisor or adviser. The exercise is intended to organize a conversation; it is not permission to change account treatment, move money, or replace an established control.
