Description:

Managing accounts receivable has never been an easy job. Companies implement best practices in accounts receivable operations in order to generate bottom-line results. The credit, receivables, and collections function has changed radically over the last few years, and these changes are likely to continue for the foreseeable future.  

Learn the best practices for accounts receivable:

Technology and the Internet are causing a complete rethinking of the way accounts receivable departments operate. New developments in skip tracing, electronic invoicing, email communication, and privacy laws all require accounts receivable personnel be up-to-date on the newest accounts receivable processes and procedures. Our accounts receivable seminars are custom developed to focus on best practice processes and procedures that will make a positive impact in your organization.

This training is designed to help the accounts receivable professional manage the staggering workload of the credit and collection function.

A sizable share of a company’s working capital is tied up in Accounts Receivable (AR) and this poses a high liquidity risk. In this course, we expand your knowledge and expertise in AR. This will enable you and your organization to manage your accounts receivable effectively without compromising your credit sales.

IN HOUSE AND ONLINE TRAINING

in

While both In-House and Online training can present with cost-effectiveness and time-efficacy, there are some very specific differences between in-house courses and those based online.
The demand for additional courses by individuals or groups of people is increasing. Still, it depends entirely on the preferences of a person what type of training he or she wants to receive. Online courses and in-house training carry some similarities but they are considered to exhibit some very pivotal differences too. Despite that, both types of learning can be really beneficial for attendees.
