Read the result in context.
- Use a balance-sheet snapshot for net A/R and the corresponding recent revenue period.
- Do not substitute gross charges for net revenue. A gross days-in-A/R calculation is a different measure.
- Look at the aging distribution as well as the average; a single number can hide older balances.
