Receivables Turnover Time
Helps You Identify If
- Your Credit Collection Processes Are Efficient
What is my receivables turnover time? Efficiency ratios are a great way of analysing the underlying operational efficiency of a business. Jazoodle assesses the efficiency of a company in a number of ways. Areas such as client revenue collection, or how effective its employees are in generating revenues and keeping costs at reasonable levels.
How do you measure the efficiency of people and processes within your organisation? The receivables turnover time is a great way of doing this, and an indicator of company efficiency. Assess this over time and compare periods. In Jazoodle, we assess and compare RTT across financial years as well as on an individual monthly basis.
The Receivables Turnover Times, (RTT) measure assesses the level of cash sales relative to credit. For instance, if total sales are $100 and a company has $50 in accounts receivables, the measure would be 2 – or cash sales are twice as common as credit sales. A low figure may indicate that underlying cashflow issues may surface from time to time. Please note that it is not possible for Jazoodle to identify how many sales are created by offering credit to a company’s customers. However, it can be estimated by relating the total revenue to the number of debtors that a business has in place.
