Assume that after a review of Accounts Receivable, management determines that the credit department has not been enforcing credit terms. What can management do to encourage customers to pay faster? What might be some of the negative consequences of such a change? Some points you could have raised include: Management can charge interest to customers who dont pay within 30 days or refuse to extend credit to those who pay late. Management could off a discount to early payers. Possible implication is a reduction in sales. Need to consider what competition are doing.
