  I already have or will quickly develop the following knowledge, skills and abilities needed for this position:• Reconciliation of cash book, debtors and creditors - Perform internal audit • Train and assist inexperienced employees • The job of a debtor’s clerk is to keep records of the accounts of any business’s customers and to recover the business’s debts. These accounts will be kept on computers, in record cards or books. He or she will do routine work in the business’s account department. They will keep a record of any payments that are made and any money that is owed to the business. They will use these records to verify any overdue accounts and they will then contact the business or persons by phone or in writing so as to recover their outstanding balance. The clerk will determine a payment deadline and will follow up on this payment. If payment is not met by the due date, the clerk will decide which steps must be taken (such as suing the business or person).A debtor’s clerk will also carry out any routine bookkeeping duty so as to submit records of any overdue account at each month end to the board of directors or financial department within the company.
