Real collectability
What supporting documents exist, which guarantees are enforceable and what ability to pay the debtor has. The result is a snapshot of how much of that portfolio is recoverable money and how much is just a book balance.
Most institutions don't have a collections problem: they have an information problem. They don't know which part of their past-due portfolio is recoverable, which part is at risk of becoming time-barred and which part isn't worth pursuing. Without that assessment, resources are spread evenly between cases that pay off and cases that never will.
Accounting tells you how much is owed. The audit tells you how much can be collected.
What supporting documents exist, which guarantees are enforceable and what ability to pay the debtor has. The result is a snapshot of how much of that portfolio is recoverable money and how much is just a book balance.
The finding that most surprises risk committees: obligations about to become time-barred and contracts with defects that would make them unenforceable in court. Each one is a loss that can still be avoided if detected in time.
We classify the portfolio so effort goes where it produces results. Not every debtor deserves the same strategy or the same collection cost.
Without segmentation, the same collection intensity is applied to a case with an enforceable guarantee and to one whose contract won't stand up in court. One of the two always loses out, and it's almost never the one you think.
The audit splits the portfolio into tranches with different destinations: what can still be recovered through collection efforts, what requires legal action, what is at risk of becoming time-barred and what has no real probability of collection.
With that breakdown in hand, provisioning, write-off or sale decisions are no longer made based on portfolio aging alone.
Illustrative proportions. The actual composition depends on each portfolio, and that is exactly what the audit establishes.

The audit exists to support five specific decisions.
Focus collection efforts where there is a real probability of payment.
Stop spending on portfolio that won't pay off.
Support the level with evidence of collectability, not just aging.
Determine what should be written off and what can still be worked.
Value a portfolio with sound judgment before negotiating its price.
Not a general assessment: three concrete deliverables.
The portfolio classified by profile, bucket and risk, with the estimated collectability of each tranche.
The list of at-risk obligations, sorted by urgency. This is the part that usually justifies the entire audit.
What to do with each tranche, whether your in-house team or a dedicated team carries it out.
No. The audit is contracted independently and the report is yours, whether you use it with us, with your in-house team or as the basis for collections outsourcing.
Especially. That's where recoverable value the institution had given up on turns up most often, because a write-off is an accounting decision, not an extinguishment of the obligation.
