All businesses have accounts receivable comprised of the payments due to them.

After all, while a strong credit policy and collection process may serve your company for the majority of your outstanding invoices, there will come a time when getting paid from a client or customer proves difficult or near impossible.

The collections process can be further obscured by parties actively seeking to avoid or hide assets.
