Definition
An aged debtors report groups the money customers owe you by how overdue it is — current, 30 days, 60 days, 90-plus. It shows at a glance where cash is stuck and which invoices need chasing.
Why it matters
The older the debt, the harder it is to collect and the greater the strain on cash. Managing aged debtors lowers your debtor days and lifts the cash a lender sees. See improving cash flow.
