Doctor Credit

My credit department does not seem to get the respect it once enjoyed. Can you offer any insights?

Answer: One factor is the cost of money. When inflation and interest rates are high, the time value of money makes it more important for A/R to be collected sooner rather than later. As many people know, interest rates are near all time lows so many credit departments do not have the same amount of influence they once had.
