About this ebook

At some point the weekly aging check has done what it can. The receivable is 180-plus days. The credit policy is operating on assumptions from eighteen months ago. One customer is on the edge between workout and write-off. Writing Off, Rebuilding Policy is the quarterly companion to Accounts Receivable Recovery (Operator Playbooks 14). Three structured tools handle the decisions that belong once per quarter, not once per week: building the defensible write-off trail, recalibrating the credit policy from scratch, and assembling a restructuring agreement before a troubled account becomes a permanent loss.


A six-question diagnostic intake routes the reader to the right tool based on which calibration is most overdue.


Write-Off Justification Sheet. A defensible audit trail for every receivable being written off, satisfying both internal management and external auditor scrutiny. Two worked examples: a B2B distributor running an end-of-year write-off cycle, and a ceramic tile importer running write-offs after a major retail customer's collapse.


Full Customer Credit-Policy Rebuild. Reconstructs the credit policy from current concentration risk, current customer profitability, and current macro conditions. Two worked examples: a logistics operator rebuilding policy after a regulatory change, and a Bandung garment exporter rebuilding policy across domestic and export segments with materially different risk profiles.


Restructuring Agreement Framework. Builds the structured agreement for accounts that need workout terms — extended payment, partial write-off, collateral conversion — before they become full write-offs. Two worked examples: a manufacturing operator restructuring with a three-year customer, and a Balikpapan petroleum equipment supplier restructuring an offshore contractor's payment plan during a commodity downturn.


Each tool carries a self-scoring rubric, a quick decision tree, and tier adaptations for single-owner shops, mid-tier businesses, and pre-IPO operations. A quarterly plan at the back sequences the three tools across one full quarter.


This companion draws on operator experience running businesses in Indonesia. Examples, currency, and operational texture reflect that origin. The frameworks carry across to small and mid-sized businesses in other emerging markets and many developed-market SME settings.
