Total uncollectable balances as a percentage of revenue
This measure calculates total uncollectable balances as a percentage of revenue. Uncollectable balances are amounts owed to your business unit for goods or services already delivered that will not be collected; an account is considered uncollectable after all reasonable methods of collecting the balance have been unsuccessfully employed. This measure is part of a set of Process Efficiency measures that help companies optimize their "manage and process collections" process by minimizing waste and refining resource consumption.

Key Terms
Total Annual Revenue/Net Revenue
Total annual revenue is net proceeds generated from the sale of products or services. This should reflect the selling price less any allowances such as quantity, discounts, rebates and returns. If your business entity is a support unit and therefore does not directly generate revenue, then provide the revenue amount for the units you support. For government/non-profit organizations, please use your non-pass-through budget. For insurance companies the total annual revenue is the total amount of direct written premiums, excluding net investment income. Note: Business entity revenue needs to only include inter-company business segment revenue when the transactions between those business segments are intended to reflect an arm's length transfer price and would therefore meet the regulatory requirements for external revenue reporting.
Process efficiency
Process efficiency represents how well a process converts its inputs into outputs. A process that converts 100% of the inputs into outputs without waste is more efficient than one that converts a similar amount of inputs into fewer outputs.
