Thank you, Simona
neutral rkillings : Time to retire 'debtors' and 'creditors' in favour of IFRS terminology (receivables, payables).

See my last note :))
agree Julie Barber : Nobody is obliged to follow IFRS and most people don't, there's nothing wrong with aged debtors or aged debt. This is real life!

Can be done for payables (e.g. supplier invoices) as well as receivables.

Actually, all listed companies in the EU are required by law to apply IFRS for financial reporting -- and that includes France, Ireland and the UK. More than 100 countries around the world require or allow IFRS. It's now the standard. You are not doing your clients a favour by preferring pre-IFRS accounting terminology.
