		<description><![CDATA[Hopefully, that’s something you think about often and you realize the answer is not a simple response. That’s because many factors come into play in order to meaningfully answer that question. Days Sales Outstanding is a simple mathematical formula which divides your current outstanding accounts receivable balance by the amount of credit sales, and then multiplies that by the number of days in the period (AR balance/credit sales X # of days in period). This renders a single number, but the qualitative aspects of DSO are what truly underlie the response to the question. Factors that come into play affecting your DSO include: the industry you are in, the terms which you offer your customers, the credit decisions that you make for your customers and the risk you’re willing to take. Once you have a handle on these aspects, you can provide the answer to how your DSO is performing with relative ease. So let’s take a closer look at some of these variables.                     <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=cfoknowledge.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10244373&amp;post=1483&amp;subd=cfoknowledge&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

There is nothing worse than waiting for a report to compile or a screen to refresh and it’s particularly annoying when you’re trying to do other things – and there’s time constraints. 

So bear a thought for folk in the finance team reconciling various ledgers for the period end close:
