| contents | A short, fast-running diagnostic companion to the Operator Playbooks volume on accounts receivable recovery. The weekly tools detect AR drift; the quarterly tools recalibrate the structural pieces: write-off justification when receivables have crossed the 180-day mark, customer credit-policy rebuilds that hold up against current concentration risk, and restructuring agreement frameworks for accounts that need workout terms before they become write-offs. A six-question diagnostic intake routes the reader to the right tool based on which calibration is most overdue. The three tools, each designed for once-per-quarter use: **Write-Off Justification Sheet.** A defensible audit trail for every receivable being written off, satisfying both internal management and external auditor scrutiny. Two worked examples: a B2B distributor running an end-of-year write-off cycle, and a ceramic tile importer running write-offs after a major retail customer's collapse. **Full Customer Credit-Policy Rebuild.** Reconstructs the credit policy from current concentration risk, current customer profitability, and current macro conditions. Two worked examples: a logistics operator rebuilding policy after a regulatory change, and a Bandung garment exporter rebuilding policy across domestic and export segments with materially different risk profiles. **Restructuring Agreement Framework.** Builds the structured agreement for accounts that need workout terms (extended payment, partial write-off, collateral conversion) before they become full write-offs. Two worked examples: a manufacturing operator restructuring with a three-year customer, and a Balikpapan petroleum equipment supplier restructuring an offshore contractor's payment plan during a commodity downturn. Each tool carries a self-scoring rubric, a quick decision tree, and tier adaptations for single-owner shops, mid-tier businesses, and pre-IPO operations. A quarterly plan at the back sequences the three tools across one full quarter. This companion was written from the seat of an operator running businesses in Indonesia. Examples, currency, and texture reflect that origin. The frameworks apply broadly to small and mid-sized businesses in other emerging markets and to many developed-market SME settings. **What this companion does NOT do** - Replace *Accounts Receivable Recovery* (Operator Playbooks 14). - Substitute for the weekly-rhythm tools. - Address scenario-triggered AR crises. **Who This Is For** - Operators running the weekly AR checks who now need quarterly structural recalibration. - Owners with concentrated customer exposure who need to test their credit policy against current risk. - Mid-tier directors heading into auditor review, bank credit reviews, or due diligence. **Topics and Keywords** quarterly receivables review, write-off justification, credit policy rebuild, restructuring agreement, AR recalibration, customer concentration risk, SME accounts receivable, operator playbook companion |
