CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1   Background of the study

According to Wikipedia, a bad debt is an amount recorded by the enterprise as a loss to the enterprise and recognized as an expense, since the bad debt due to the enterprise can not be obtained and all the efforts required to recover the debt are unrecoverable. exhausted. probably remains uncollectible and is written off. Bad debts appear as an expense in the company's income statement, which reduces net income. In general, companies estimate the bad debts that could be incurred in the current period based on past earnings estimation processes, and most companies account for them because not all their accounts receivable will likely do so. . United States federal law defines "debt" as an obligation for the consumer to pay money resulting from a transaction in which money, goods, insurance or services have changed hands. The Cambridge International Dictionary defines a "guilt" as an extra amount of money someone owes. How long does it take for debtors (borrowing clients) to pay their debts? Understanding the payment behavior of potential customers is essential for evaluating credit management in any organization, as insufficient credit controls can lead to significant financial planning issues (Atradius 2012).

According to Atradius (2011), late payments and payment defaults are still of great importance worldwide. The study also revealed that 305 of the debts are paid too late, while 3% go wrong, the main reason being that the buyers do not have sufficient funds to pay. Credit problems are usually identified at the end of the credit channel (Katoh 2004). Before a loan becomes bad, it must be granted. In addition, the poor quality of a loan is sometimes due to factors other than the credit process, such as negative selection and moral hazard (Satiglitz and Weiss, 1981), or any external shock that may change the nature of the loan. borrower's ability to borrow. repay (Minsky 1985). According to Gitman (1992), several aspects suggest sound management of bad debt. These include credit standards, credit terms and collection procedures.

1.2   Statement of the Problem

The issue of borrowers has become a subject of concern in the global financial circuit. Financial experts are still exploring different ways to solve this problem. Over the years, we have been discussing the method that worked best. Experts agree that no method stands out, the choice is independent of other factors such as economic stability and the effectiveness and reliability of the national database. The SME has also developed various ways to remedy this anomaly. Credit facilities are therefore the main commercial asset and the main source of revenue for most SMEs. However, some loans, especially purchases, are bad and have a negative impact on the profitability and overall performance of the institutions. In Nigeria, most medium-sized companies face the challenge of canceling bad debts, which requires effective default management strategies.
