Current Asset Introduction Valuation of Receivables Receivables are reported at their net realizable value -total amount of receivables less an allowance for uncollectible accounts Management estimates the allowance for uncollectibles based on experience, customer fortunes, economy and industry expectations, and collection policies

Current Asset ntroduction Analyzing Receivables Assessment of earnings quality is often affected by an analysis of receivables and their collectibility Analysis must be alert to changes in the allowance--computed relative to sales receivables, or industry and market conditions Two special analysis questions (1)Authenticity of Receivables Review credit policy for changes Review return policies for changes Review any contingencies on receivables (2 Collection Risk Review allowance for uncollectibles in light of industry conditions Apply special tools for analyzing collectibility Determining competitors'receivables as a percent of sales-vis-a-vis the company under analysis Examining customer concentration-risk increases when receivables are concentrated in one or a few customers Investigating the age pattern of receivables-overdue and for how long Determining portion of receivables that is a renewal of prior receivables Analyzing adequacy of allowances for discounts, returns, and other credits
Assessment of earnings quality is often affected by an analysis of receivables and their collectibility Analysis must be alert to changes in the allowance—computed relative to sales, receivables, or industry and market conditions. Two special analysis questions: (1) Authenticity of Receivables Review credit policy for changes Review return policies for changes Review any contingencies on receivables (2) Collection Risk Review allowance for uncollectibles in light of industry conditions Apply special tools for analyzing collectibility: • Determining competitors’ receivables as a percent of sales—vis-à-vis the company under analysis • Examining customer concentration—risk increases when receivables are concentrated in one or a few customers • Investigating the age pattern of receivables—overdue and for how long • Determining portion of receivables that is a renewal of prior receivables • Analyzing adequacy of allowances for discounts, returns, and other credits Current Asset Introduction Analyzing Receivables
Current Asset ntroduction Securitization of Receivables Securitization(or factoring) is when a company sells all or a portion of its receivables to a third party Receivables can be sold with or without recourse to a seller (recourse refers to guarantee of collectibility) Sale of receivables with recourse does not effectively transfer risk of ownership Sale of receivables without recourse does not always transfer risk of ownership
