3. Receivable financing - is the financial flexibility or
capability of an entity to raise moneyout of its
receivables.
During a general business decline, an entity may find
itself in tight cash positionbecause sales decrease and
customers are not paying their accounts on time.
But the entity’s current accounts and notes payable
must continue to be paid if itscredit standing is not to
suffer.
The entity then would be in a financial distress as
collections of receivable are delayed but cash
payments for obligations must be maintained.
Under these circumstances, if the situation becomes
very critical, the entity may beforced to look for cash
by financing its receivables.

4. PLEDGE OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
• When loans are obtained from the bank or any lending institution, the accounts receivable may
be pledged as collateral security for the payment of the loan.
• Normally, the borrowing entity makes the collections of the pledged accounts but maybe required
to turn over the collections to the bank in satisfaction for the loan.
• No complex problems are involved in this form of financing except the accounting for the loan.
• The loan is recorded by debiting cash and discount on note payable if loan is discounted, and
crediting note payable.
• The subsequent payment of the loan is recorded by debiting note payable and crediting cash.
• With respect to the pledged accounts, no entry would be necessary. It is sufficient that disclosure
thereof is made in a note to financial statement.
