Bronze AHA Winner in Credit Risk Management

Global, Web-Based Coordination: Omnicom Group

The company saw its accounts receivable past due by more than 60 days drop by $200 million, shrinking those delinquencies from 13.4% to 9.9% of the portfolio. Bad debt write-offs were held to 0.4%, the same level as in 2008 and earlier years.
