An aging report is a financial document that provides a breakdown of a company’s accounts payable and accounts receivable. The report tracks the amount of money that is owed to your company (accounts receivable) and the amount of money that vendors, suppliers, and creditors owe to you (accounts payable). The report categorizes these amounts based on the length of time that payment has been outstanding, often categorized into aging buckets of 30, 60, 90, or more days.
