Why may a control account carries both debit and credit balances?

A control account summarizes a set of subsidiary accounts. For example, Accounts receivable may have a control account, representing total Accounts receivable, and also may have a set of subsidiary accounts, representing the amount of Accounts receivable owed by each customer/debtor. The total of all subsidiary accounts must equal the balance of the control account. Control accounts will have debit or credit balances depending on the nature of those accounts. Control accounts for assets, such as Accounts receivable or Fixed assets, will have native debit balances. Control accounts for liabilities, such as Accounts payable, will have native credit balances.

What are the steps to reconcile and monitor the accounts receivable system?

Reconcilling the Accounts receivable: Matching the balance of the debtor (how much the debtor owe you) and the cash received from the debtor. When the debt is overdue, follow up with debtor for the payment. Monitor the AR system: Debt can be categorize (in general) to 30 days due, 60 days in due, 90 days due and > 90 days due. Debtor 30 days due means they owe you 30 days from the day that they should pay you.
