Program Professional Framework

Certified Accounts Receivable Professional

Program Overview

Receivables are often the largest current asset on the balance sheet and the first place cash gets stuck. «Certified Accounts Receivable Professional» covers the full order-to-cash cycle from customer onboarding and credit limits through accurate invoicing, e-invoicing compliance, cash application, dispute resolution and structured collections. It also addresses ageing analysis, DSO and collection effectiveness metrics, expected credit loss provisioning under IFRS 9, write-offs and VAT bad-debt relief rules in GCC regimes, so that AR teams can both accelerate cash and report receivables reliably.

Learning Outcomes

✓Design a customer credit assessment and credit limit approval process with clear escalation levels.
✓Apply invoicing and e-invoicing controls that reduce disputes and comply with local tax requirements.
✓Perform cash application and unapplied-cash clearance using remittance data and bank statements.
✓Build a collections strategy segmented by customer risk and ageing bucket.
✓Calculate DSO, collection effectiveness index and dispute rates, and interpret trends for management.
✓Estimate an expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables using the IFRS 9 simplified approach.
