CRF Bad Debt Recovery Survey Analysis PDF (76K)
The Credit Research Foundation conducted a survey recently to explore bad debt recovery rates and practices. For over 40 years CRF has reported annually on the condition of bad debts related to annual sales along with the allowance for uncollectible accounts as a percentage of trade receivables. However, this recent survey was the first time recoveries were studied. The survey provided valuable data to facilitate analysis and insight determination to augment CRF’s annual bad debt report. Read about the results and the interpretations provided by author Al Carmenini, Senior VP Product Development at CreditRiskMonitor.
