Credit Management and Strategies

Tuesday, 15 December 2009

7.00 pm – 9.00 pm

Possibility Room, Level 5

National Library Building

100 Victoria Street

 

The objective of credit management can be described as: “Not to minimise credit loss but to maximise profits”. At the point of agreeing a sale on credit, the seller assumes that he will collect full payment on the due date; this assumption is flawed if no steps have been put in place to try and minimise the granting of a bad debt. It is important that these steps are instituted and followed before the credit is granted.

 

Join us to find out more about the importance of effective credit and collection strategy as well as understand about new age credit evaluation solutions from Jennifer Lee (Senior Manager, DP Information Group) and Zac Lim (Account Manager, DP Information Group).
