DSO is calculated by dividing the average accounts receivable balance by sales per day. The figure provides insight into the rate at which sales are converted into cash flows. A higher DSO means invoices are outstanding longer, while a lower DSO indicates faster collection. Interpretation depends on industry, payment terms and business model.    <\/p>\n","context-creditmanagement":"<p>Within accounts receivable management, DSO is used as an indicator of the effectiveness of the collection process. A rising DSO can indicate deteriorating payment behavior or inefficient follow-up.
