As a business owner, it's important to stay on top of your accounts receivable, especially when it comes to business-to-business (B2B) transactions. Accounts receivable refers to the money that your clients owe your company for goods or services that have been provided but not yet paid for. B2B accounts receivable management can be a bit more complex than consumer (B2C) accounts receivable, so it's important to understand how to manage your accounts effectively.

The most overlooked, yet most critical, element of transformation is preparing people for change. Automation and AI aren't just technical upgrades, they’re cultural shifts which can challenge identities. That’s why change management isn’t a side project—it’s the foundation. In finance, where precision and process rule, navigating change can feel especially disruptive.

Creditors and debt collectors may rest assured that they are not violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) when sending debt-collection communications prior to any knowledge of a debtor’s bankruptcy filing. In Carrasquillo v. CICA Collection Agency, Inc. , the district court for the District of Puerto Rico relied on a Third Circuit case when finding a debt collector lacked the requisite knowledge and intent to violate § 1692e of the FDCPA.

Florida law provides that community associations may collect assessments from unit owners to cover operating and maintenance costs. If a unit owner fails to pay, the association may record the unpaid assessment as a lien against the property and eventually file for foreclosure. However, to perfect the assessment as a lien and foreclose, the association must follow the statutory guidelines in Florida Statute Chapter 718.

There’s a lot of noise surrounding the ability of AI agents to connect to your tools, systems and data. But building an AI application into a reliable, secure workflow agent isn’t as simple as plugging in an API. As an engineering leader, it can be challenging to make sense of this evolving landscape, but agent tooling provides such high value that it’s critical we figure out how to move forward.

Prior to trial, an insurer, like any party to litigation has a right to “conduct a reasonable examination of each juror orally.” Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.431(b). The goal of this examination is “to obtain a fair and impartial jury, whose minds are free of all interest, bias or prejudice.” Hoskins v. State , 965 So. 2d 1, 13 (Fla. 2007).
