Course Details
Historically, Credit management has been considered as a back-office function within businesses, and, although I am pleased to say this has now changed, there are still some people/organisations who think this role and department as unimportant and even negative because credit control departments:
- Chase debts
- Stop sales
However, the true fundamentals of credit management are the foundation of every single business worldwide that trade on credit terms.
This topic is so important, because, without robust credit control processes (from onboarding clients to recoveries) firms are likely to experience major liquidity and debt issues. Businesses assume that accountants deal with all forms of business finance, including credit control; however, as we know these areas are very separate.
Tracey Westell will explain what the benefits of adhering to the principles of credit management are for an organisation, how accountants can recognise red flags and why is it so important to ensure that they and their clients can speak to the right experts and help safeguard businesses and jobs in the future. In turn, Tracey will outline how this aids both the accountants and their clients.
By attending this session, you will learn/understand/be able to identify what true issues your clients may be facing now and in the future. How you can help and who would be best to refer to, to help assist your client from not reaching their potential
