Accounts Receivable Quarterly
Data Summary
CUMULATIVE CITY DEPARTMENTS SUMMARY Introduction
This Accounts Receivable Quarterly (ARQ) report continues the progression of centralized reporting on citywide accounts receivable in providing a summary of the City of Los Angeles (City) current outstanding accounts. The ARQ summarizes general statistics regarding accounts receivable based on data submitted by City departments.1 This data is not accounting information; it reflects point-in-time aging of accounts receivable as reported by departments. This report specifically represents data as of June 30, 2011, which is the end of the 4th quarter of Fiscal Year (FY) 2010-11.
This quarter, the Office of Finance (Finance) enhanced its approach by including: (1) allowances for doubtful accounts that reduce inflated outstanding balances and providing more realistic collectability figures; (2) lien amounts to delineate those receivables that are subject to lien holds (where provided by departments); and (3) revised timelines for the Department of Transportation’s (Transportation) parking citations and the Fire Department’s (Fire) Emergency Ambulance billings to more accurately measure against their business processes.
Total Accounts Receivable
As of the end of the 4th Quarter of FY 2010-11, billings as reported by departments2 constitute $585,757,839 in total accounts receivable.3 Of the total accounts receivable, principal is $454,534,571 or 78%, interest is $439,462, and penalties are $130,783,807 or 22%.
This quarter, Finance introduced the concept of an allowance for doubtful accounts, which represents accounts that are pending write-off and/or accounts that a department calculates as unlikely to be collected. Most departments base their allowance for doubtful accounts on past experience. City departments reported an allowance for doubtful accounts of $454,085,519 or 78% of total outstanding receivables, which reduces net receivables to $131,672,321.
Both Fire and Transportation reported allowances for doubtful accounts that significantly reduced their total outstanding receivables. Fire has commenced making accounting adjustments to emergency ambulance billings to improve accuracy of accounts receivable reporting. Since Fire and Transportation’s receivables constitute the majority of the City’s total accounts
1
Departments provide (from host billing systems) and/or review accounts receivable data (generated in the City’s Financial Management System) published herein. Quality and accuracy is contingent on departments and the ability of their systems and methodologies to provide required data.
2
Los Angeles Convention Center submitted non-conforming data and is not included in reported totals. 3
For reporting purposes, the following types of receivables (by Revenue Source Code) are excluded to the greatest extent possible: (1) Point-of-sale; (2) Leases; (3) Taxes; (4) Grants; (5) Loans; (6) Amounts due from governmental agencies; (7) Inter-departmental transfers; and (8) Non-city amounts. Nevertheless, some of the reported accounts receivable may reflect these types. Amounts include both General and Special Fund revenue sources.
4th Quarter, FY 2010-11 receivable, both departments are treated in greater detail while other departments are more summarily described.

Data regarding aging information for Emergency Ambulance Services and Parking Citations (the two largest in-scope receivables) among other receivable-types do not correspond to current Citywide Guidelines aging and processes due to legal and business requirements.5 As of June 30, 2011, these two receivable types accounted for $517,198,749 or 88% of total accounts receivable. Excluding these receivables, the Citywide6 total outstanding amount is $68,559,090 with $31,196,936 or 46% of total receivables over 596 days past due. This quarter, Finance collaboratively developed alternative templates to capture accurate aging data for Fire’s Emergency Ambulance Billings and Transportation’s Parking Citations (please refer to the appropriate section for more details).

Some departments are exempt from reporting because they have minimal, if any, accounts receivable. 5
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to measuring citywide accounts receivable. Even with the identified exclusions, many of the remaining accounts receivable deviate from Citywide Guidelines process milestones for a variety of business and legal reasons.

“Citywide” refers to accounts receivable that closely adhere to Citywide Guidelines.

According to Citywide Guidelines, referral of delinquent accounts to an outside collection agency should occur within 45 days past the due date. However, individual receivable types may require different referral timelines or processes based on legal or business requirements or restrictions. Parking citations are collected by the City’s citation processing agency and not by collection agencies under contract with Finance. Note that the figures represented herein are not absolute since there are numerous deviations in the timelines for referral to outside collection agencies among various accounts receivable types (e.g. Emergency Ambulance Service billings are not referred to collections until nine months past due for business process reasons related to billing of insurance companies).
This quarter, $44,913,381 or 78% of eligible Citywide receivables ($57,528,313) were referred to collection agencies or forwarded to the County Assessor for levying of liens. These figures exclude Emergency Ambulance Billings and Parking Citations7
7
These types of receivables utilize alternative collections procedures.
4th Quarter, FY 2010-11
CONCLUSION
While the City’s receivables have significant reported outstanding balances, the vast majority is represented by two bill types--Emergency Ambulance Services and Parking Citations. While collection improvements of City receivables can certainly be made, much of the issue is a function of collectability. It is imperative that City departments continue to clean up their accounts receivable in accordance with accounting principles and Citywide Guidelines as mandated by the Mayor’s Executive Directive No. 5. Given the impending implementation of the Centralized Accounts Receivable Reporting (CARR) project, it will be beneficial to bring over the cleanest data possible and avoid large significantly aged uncollectible balances that clutter and skew reporting and complicate data maintenance.
Finance Directives to Departments
In accordance with the Mayor’s Executive Directive No. 5 and Citywide Guidelines, City departments are directed to take the following actions:
1. Refer delinquent accounts to outside collection agencies or the City’s collection unit in Finance, generally within 45 days of delinquency, as governed by Section 5.181 of the Los Angeles Administrative Code;
2. Review and implement measures to apply penalties and interest to all delinquent accounts at a level that effectively deters delinquency and encourages voluntary compliance in making timely payments;
3. Submit quarterly reports on accounts receivable in the format and according to criteria prescribed by Finance;
4. Submit expedited reports of uncollectible accounts for write-off to the Board of Review as directed by Section 5.182 of the Los Angeles Administrative Code and Board of Review protocols and procedures;
Also that:
5. CARR interfacing departments conduct system data clean up and prioritize write-off of uncollectible debt prior to system integration.
Finance will monitor and report on departments’ improvements and compliance with these directives via ongoing accounts receivable reporting and departmental reviews.

Assessment Brush Removal - RSC 3197
For those properties in the City that are located in a brush fire hazard area, Fire generates invoices for inspection of the property for compliance with brush clearance, noncompliance with mandatory brush clearance, and restitution for instances where Fire pays for contracts to perform the clearance. On a yearly basis, delinquent accounts receivable for inspection and noncompliance fees (RSC 3197) are sent to the County Assessor to levy a lien on behalf of the
4th Quarter, FY 2010-11 City. If the property owner appeals the assessment, the collection process is temporarily suspended.
Emergency Ambulance Services
Significant billings are for Medi-Care or Medi-Cal patients, which statutorily limit the amount of money Fire can recover for Emergency Ambulance Services. In addition, some billings are uncollectible because a patient is deceased or in custody. By ordinance, Fire can refer accounts for collections after reasonable collection efforts have failed no later than 9 months from the date of initial billing (Administrative Code Section 5.181 (a)).

Code Enforcement Fees (SCEP) – RSC 4249
Housing is responsible for preventing the development or creation of dangerous, substandard, or unsanitary and deficient residential buildings and dwelling units (Los Angeles Municipal Code Section 161 et. seq.). Per business requirements, the timeline for collection of code enforcement fees does not follow Citywide Guidelines. In addition, when the property owner appeals the assessment of the fees, Housing suspends the collection process until resolution of the appeal. Consequently, SCEP fees are excluded from the collections section below.
