Receivables turnover ratio
- Receivables turnover ratio
Receivable Turnover Ratio is one of the accounting liquidity ratios, a financial ratio. This ratio measures the number of times, on average, receivables (e.g. Accounts Receivable) are collected during the period. A popular variant of the receivables turnover ratio is to convert it into an Average Collection Period in terms of days. Remember that the Receivable turnover ratio is figured as "turnover times" and the Average collection period is in "days".
