The Accounts Receivables Statements are documents that itemize all invoices, payments, and credits created during a specific time period, and whose intention is to remind the account holder of their account status. Statements can be mailed, emailed, faxed, or previewed.
A Current Account statement summarises all transactions within a specified period, typically a month or quarter. It provides details of invoices issued, payments received, and associated fees.
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.
Accounts receivable are listed under the current assets section of the balance sheet and typically fluctuate in value from month to month as the company makes new sales and collects payments from customers.
