As for Debtor Management, once we are engaged by you we will start following up all outstanding invoices to ensure that payments are made on time. Our sophisticated systems will support professional collection efforts implemented in line with the laws and practices of the country in question. In the case of approved invoices, any legal collection costs are borne by us.
