Read the result in context.

  • Use a balance-sheet snapshot for net A/R and the corresponding recent revenue period.
  • Do not substitute gross charges for net revenue. A gross days-in-A/R calculation is a different measure.
  • Look at the aging distribution as well as the average; a single number can hide older balances.
