Hello In calculating average accounts receivable net from financials, would I include: (current year and previous year) trade receivables, royalty advances, prepayments & accrued income, receivables from other parties, then divide by 2? Or would I go the other route to calculate average accounts receivable net and include: those receivables(current yr & prior yr) in the ageing of receivables group, add together and divide by 2? Thanks

At the end of the accounting period, a financial statement is prepared by every company, then at that time while preparing the financial statement, the company determines among its total receivable amount how much portion of receivables is collected by the company during that accounting period.
Accounts Receivable
The word “account receivable” means the payment is yet to be made for the work that is already done. Generally, each and every business sells its goods and services either in cash or in credit. So, when the goods are sold on credit account receivable arise which means the company is going to get the payment from its customer to whom the goods are sold on credit. Usually, the credit period may be for a very short period of time and in some rare cases it takes a year.
Accounts receivable are those outstanding balances that are due to a firm for goods and services delivered or used but not yet paid for by customers. Accounts receivable are reflected as current assets in the balance sheet. It represents a line of credit extended by a company that requires payments due within a short term period.
