What is an account aging schedule, and why is it required?

Record-to-Report (R2R) · Article FAQ

Detailed Explanation

An aging schedule categorizes open, unresolved reconciling items by the duration they have existed (such as 0–30, 31–60, 61–90, or 90+ days). It helps controllers identify stagnant balances, assess potential bad debts or unrecorded liabilities, and prioritize high-risk items before they skew financial reports.
