Credit control and accounts

Company checks for credit control and accounts teams

Terms are credit extended to a company. Confirming the entity and watching the standing keeps exposure where you can see it.

The risk

Extending terms to the wrong entity, or missing a change in a key account, is exactly where bad debt starts.

Key facts

  • Confirm the customer's legal entity and NZBN before terms.
  • Check current status and registered details.
  • Keep a record on the account.
  • Monitor the accounts with the most exposure.

See exposure before it becomes debt

A check at the point terms are set, and monitoring on the largest accounts, means a change reaches you while you can still act.
