Training on Credit Management, Debt Collection and Accounts Receivables

Effective credit management and accounts receivable practices are critical for maintaining healthy cash flow, minimizing bad debts, and optimizing financial performance. Organizations that fail to manage credit risk and collection processes efficiently often face liquidity challenges and increased financial exposure.
This course provides participants with practical knowledge and analytical tools to manage the entire credit lifecycle, from customer assessment and credit policy development to debt collection and legal compliance. It emphasizes risk-based credit management, negotiation strategies, and technology-enabled processes to enhance efficiency and recovery rates.
Participants will learn how to assess customer creditworthiness, implement robust credit policies, and design effective collection strategies. The program also covers legal and regulatory considerations, ethical debt collection practices, and performance monitoring through accounts receivable metrics and dashboards.
Through case studies and hands-on exercises, participants gain the skills to improve cash flow, reduce credit risk, and strengthen financial controls, supporting the organization’s operational and strategic goals.
