Aged receivables report

Short answer

A monthly accounts receivable ageing report, broken into current, 30, 60 and 90-plus day buckets, shows what customers across member states owe, converted to your reporting currency, so collection risk on a cross-border account is visible before it becomes a cash problem.

Ageing that spans more than one currency

A customer in Ireland paying in euros and a customer outside the eurozone paying in Swedish krona do not sit neatly in the same ledger without conversion. We prepare a monthly accounts receivable ageing report broken into current, 30, 60 and 90-plus day buckets, with balances converted to your reporting currency so you see genuine risk, not an artifact of exchange-rate movement.

Reconciled, not estimated

Customer balances are reconciled to invoices and payments received before the report goes out, so the ageing reflects what is actually still owed rather than what the software assumes. Notes are added on any invoice under dispute or on a payment plan, so an account that looks overdue but is actually being managed does not get flagged as a surprise.

Watching the trend, not just the snapshot

A short list highlights accounts moving into a higher-risk bucket month over month, which matters more for a cross-border account than the balance alone. A customer moving from 30 to 60 days overdue on a large euro invoice deserves attention sooner than a small balance that has always sat at 30 days.

Feeding a decision, not just a report

Bad-debt candidates are flagged for your review before any write-off, with enough detail that you or your accountant can decide how that write-off should be treated under the standards you report against, whether local GAAP or IFRS. See pricing for how AR ageing fits into a plan.

Questions

Frequently asked questions: Aged receivables report

Do you convert balances from non-euro member states into one currency?

Yes. Balances are converted to your reporting currency so the ageing report reflects genuine risk rather than currency movement.

How often is the ageing report reconciled before it is sent?

Customer balances are reconciled to invoices and payments received every month before the report goes out, not estimated from the software's default view.

Who decides when a balance is written off as bad debt?

We flag candidates and the reasoning behind them. The write-off decision and its treatment under your reporting standard stays with you or your accountant.

Can the ageing report split balances by member state or by customer type?

Yes, the report can be segmented by country, currency or customer category, so a EUR 10,000 balance in France is not lost inside a single blended total that hides where the real collection risk actually sits.

How far back does a typical ageing report go?

Standard ageing buckets run current, 30, 60 and 90-plus days, with anything older than 90 days flagged separately for a collections or write-off decision rather than left sitting undifferentiated in one catch-all bucket at the bottom.

How often is the aged receivables report updated?

Monthly as part of close, with an updated view available on request if you need to check a specific customer sooner.

Do you decide when to write off a bad debt?

No. We flag the candidates and the history behind them. Writing off a balance is a decision you or your tax preparer make.
