Executive Summary on Credit Management Policies
In most companies a WRITTEN Credit Management Policy is defined and supported by directors or the board but room for improvement
The Credit Management Policy needs to be updated on a regular basis
In the current situation we observe that the Policy is not available for all stakeholders
The Credit Management Policy is not sufficiently embedded in our systems, although more in ERP then in CRM

Executive Summary on Screening of customers
Screening of new customers is not limited to an amount of order intake
Screening is based on financial ratio’s from reports of external companies, but we want to move to more insight in the cash flow
Screening is also based on non-financial information Cash payment for first order is not dominantly practiced For existing customers an update of credit limits is common
practice, an update of payment conditions and risk analysis is currently exercised on an ad-hoc basis, but a trend towards common practice exists

Executive Summary on Credit Management Tasks, involvement and organization
Dispute Management, legal procedure, reporting, risk assessment and collaboration with external agencies are most common tasks. Contact with the customer is perceived as less important
The credit manager is less involved in issuing credit notes and approval of cash discounts, but he has an important role in the delivery stop, credit risk evaluation in proposal process, amortization of bad debt, provisions for doubtful debtors and dispute management
Decentralized organization Credit Management (CM) in HQ or local has no clear transparency to
sales information Currently, the CM reports to the CFO, but there is a trend for reporting
towards the CEO, at the expense of the CFO

Executive Summary on Techniques, Performance measurement
In practice, we observe the CM uses less factoring, bank and personal guarantees to protect the outstanding debts
L/C, credit insurance , retention of title and parent company guarantees are most used
For the CM, the DSO, Aging Balance and % of bad debt / TO are the most used performance measurements
BDSO, frequency of credit limits overruns, CEI are not common yet

Definitions
Collection Effectiveness Index (CEI): a measure of the ability of the collections staff to collect funds from customers. The CEI compares the amount that was collected in a given time period to the amount of receivables that were available for collection in that time period.
Weighted Days Sales Outstanding (DSO): measures the average time that receivables are outstanding. It attempts to smooth out the bias of credit sales and terms of sale.
Best Possible DSO (BDSO): utilizes only your current (non delinquent) receivables to calculate the best length of time you can achieve in turning over receivables. The closer your DSO is to your BDSO, the closer your receivables are to your optimal level.

Executive Summary on Education, Competences, Career and Sourcing
By preference the CM has a university degree, but experience is more important
According to the importance of experience, payment techniques and knowledge of the customer industry are recognized as high-valued competences in order to understand the Order to Cash process
IFRS, VAT and credit insurance are less important! Soft skills are very important The CM is not an interim manager but externally hired and
on payroll No clear career path is observed

Conclusion
The Credit Management policy need to be available for a all stakeholders and updated on a regular basis .
The policy should be embedded in a system. Customer payment analysis should be done on regular basis to update
sales conditions and credit limits and not ad – hoc . The tasks of the credit manager are known and can be maintained. The credit manager need to have a full recognition as advisor in
acceptance of new clients and related credit limits and payment conditions
Performance should be measured by other KPI’s then DSO as CEI , ADL , BDSO
Communication skills are important Career path development need to be taken into consideration
