Credit Risk Analysis
Credit risk analysis involves assessing a customer's ability to fulfill financial commitments, particularly concerning unpaid invoices. This process is vital for identifying potential defaulters and implementing strategies to minimize the fallout from this. In the context of A/R, credit risk analysis helps businesses determine the creditworthiness of clients before extending starting a business relationship and/or credit terms. This proactive approach ensures that credit is granted to reliable customers, thereby reducing the incidence of write-offs, bad debts and enhancing overall financial stability.
