A debtor's account refers to the individual account of a specific customer who owes money to a business for goods or services provided on credit. In contrast, a debtors' control account is a summary account in the general ledger that aggregates the total amounts owed by all debtors, providing an overview of the total receivables for the business. The debtor's account tracks transactions for a single customer, while the debtors' control account consolidates these individual accounts to reflect the overall debt situation.

Yes, the sales ledger control account and the debtors control account are essentially the same. Both terms refer to an account that summarizes all transactions related to credit sales and outstanding amounts owed by customers. This account serves to reconcile the total receivables recorded in the sales ledger with the general ledger, ensuring accuracy in financial reporting.
The aim of debtors and creditors control accounts is to provide a summary of all transactions related to accounts receivable (debtors) and accounts payable (creditors) in a business. These control accounts help in tracking the total amounts owed by customers and owed to suppliers, ensuring accuracy in financial records. They facilitate easier reconciliation with individual customer and supplier accounts, thereby improving overall financial management and reporting efficiency. Additionally, they aid in identifying discrepancies and monitoring cash flow.

Credit Control is the part of business which is responsible for negotiation with creditors and receiving debt timely from debtors. However, a sales person is only responsible for marketing and selling the company products.
