FAQ
Factoring without recourse means that the risk of accounts receivable being uncollectible transfers from the buyer to the seller. Basically, if an accounts receivable cannot be collected, the seller does not have to reimburse the buyer like they would if the factoring was “with recourse”.
In non-recourse receivables finance, the factor purchases the receivables from the seller and assumes the full debtor default risk. In a recourse transaction, the debtor default risk remains with the seller. Receivables purchased under a non-recourse agreement can generally be removed from the seller's balance sheet.
When a company factors receivables it means that they sell them to another party. If the transaction is without recourse that means the buyer takes on all the risk of credit losses. The seller of the accounts receivable does not bear any risk after the sale is complete.
Therefore, when a journal entry is made for an accounts receivable transaction, the value of the sale will be recorded as a credit to sales. The amount that is receivable will be recorded as a debit to the assets. These entries balance each other out.
To report accounts receivable, gather information about outstanding amounts owed by customers, create an accounts receivable ledger, categorize the accounts by age, prepare a report that summarizes the outstanding amounts, analyze the report, and take action to collect payments and manage the balance.
