Two commonly used methods to analyze accounts receivable are
- accounts receivable turnover, and
- number of days' sales in receivables (or days sales outstanding).
Both methods measure a firm's ability to generate sales and quickly collect its accounts receivable. A lower number of days' sales in receivables indicates a firm is collecting receivables quicker. Both of these measures must be compared with other firms in the same industry.
