MD: There’s no doubt we’ve got to tighten up on financial control. Peter, you’re in charge of credit control. What do you suggest?
FC: Well, rye been looking at our payment terms, in other words how long we have to wait for payment, we must reduce the average delay in payment.

PM: I must go too. I’ve got a meeting straight away.
