Credit Management belongs to the broad subject of Accountancy which deals with inspection and administration of the credit records and payments of the customers, clients.
Credit Management answers the clients’ questions regarding their credit and payment history and credit and payment processes. The management organizes the internal movements of the flow of credits and payments as well as reconciliations regarding conflicting schedules, conflicting payments, and promissory notes while at the same time maintaining the good relationship with good clients.
On the other hand, bad debtors are handled with due process. Legal actions are filed against them should they fail to comply with the payments or should they refuse to pay their debts.
On the part of the debtors, they should be well aware of the schedule of payments so as not to be subjected to legal matters. Most credits, before being granted, need to leave a guarantee that they can be paid. Thus, collaterals come into picture. They pose as securities to ensure creditors that the loans they give to debtors are either going to be paid according to the stipulated schedule or else, they have the authority to claim the securities as payment for their debts.
Credit Management, from a debtor’s point of view, is managing finances especially debts so as not to have a tail of creditors lurking behind your back. Credit management is a responsibility that both the debtor and the creditor should seriously take.
