Concept of debt accounting
Debt accounting is the entire recording and management of debts and receivables of an enterprise. This job includes recording debts from customers and receivables from suppliers, tracking debts and receivables, besides performing debt-related transactions such as payments and collections.
The debt accounting department plays an important role in maintaining financial stability in the business. For large enterprises, debt accounting is usually a specialized department, while in small and medium-sized enterprises, this task is usually undertaken by general accountants.
Debt accounting is classified into two main types: accounts payable and accounts receivable
Liabilities: These are the amounts that businesses need to pay to third parties such as suppliers. These amounts include the value of goods, supplies, raw materials, and equipment for production and business activities, which the enterprise has not paid in full or has only partially paid
Receivables: These are the amounts that businesses need to collect from customers, from the sale of products or goods that customers have not paid in full or only partially paid. Debt accountants need to monitor and specifically classify these customer groups to control debt more effectively.
