As M&A activity accelerates in an uneven economy, the Accounts Receivable function may be called upon to evaluate and/or execute upon acquisitions and divestitures that impact your portfolio. This session brings together experienced practitioners and professionals to unpack the operational and financial issues that surface during acquisitions and divestitures. Panelists will discuss a myriad of issues that practitioners may face pre and post close, including AR quality, risk categorization, unrecorded credits, customer mix/concentration, bad debt reserves, systems, processes, and people. The discussion will cover potential issues/opportunities within a Transition Services Agreement (TSA) that likely will be in place post-close. These topics will all be covered with an eye to the all-important workforce implications and how best to embrace the change with your team. Participants will walk away with practical guidance to strengthen due diligence, guard against hidden liabilities, and ensure a smoother integration or separation process.
