Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Negative accounts receivable confirmations are sent to customers with the intention of gathering evidence that the balance they hold as accounts receivable is actually owed by the buyer. However, if the recipient does not respond, it does not necessarily mean that the balance is owed. There may be several reasons why the confirmation was not responded to, including it being lost in the mail or the recipient being too busy to respond. Therefore, the inference drawn from receiving no reply may not be correct.
