Economy & Finance

For many companies, Accounts Receivable is the largest or second largest asset on the balance sheet. Therefore, any weakness in the financial controls for A/R could have a serious impact on the company's financial statements. Since Accounts Receivable departments interact with almost every other department in the company, weak controls in A/R can lead to increased risk in other areas.
