Here are a few key points that we address during our review

We understand the importance of analyzing the costs in excess of billing accounts and the impact on financial performance and collateral impacts. Progress billings and mechanic liens are also a key focus of our review.
Retail Suppliers
We watch out for hidden collateral offsets buried in accrued expenses.
Automotive Suppliers
Lenders need to be careful of tooling invoices imbedded within the AR aging. We will determine if they have approved PPAP authorizations. The payables with tooling suppliers also need to be analyzed.
Steel Fabricators
Inventory mix is crucial – need to analyze inventory mix by gauge and width

PACA lien rights can be a critical issue.
Circuit board manufacturers

Unbilled receivables have become a growing element of this industry.
