New Account Receivable Policy.

28 Oct 2025 7:36 AM | Zackery Tucker (Administrator)

When reviewing finances at the Fall Conference in August, the Board of Directors received a report highlighting a growing concern regarding several members and programs not meeting their financial obligations to the organization. In particular, the Board noted an emerging pattern of some programs carrying balances over 200 days past due. In response, the Board of Directors discussed the need for stronger financial accountability measures and the establishment of clear expectations for timely payment.

At its October 2025 meeting, the Board of Directors adopted the following Accounts Receivable Policy:

Due Dates and Late Fees

All invoices for conferences, membership, tournaments, and other hosted events are due at the commencement of the event. Acceptable proof of payment may include a verified purchase order (PO) issued by an authorized school district, agency, or organization. Any balance not paid or supported by an approved purchase order at the start of an event shall be subject to a late payment fee of ten percent (10%) of the outstanding balance. An additional ten percent (10%) late fee will be assessed every thirty (30) calendar days thereafter on any unpaid balance until the account is satisfied in full.

Notice of Excessive Balances

Accounts remaining unpaid beyond thirty (30) days shall be considered delinquent, and the ACTAA member will be notified of the fee. For accounts with unpaid balances exceeding sixty (60) days, account statements will be distributed to the respective district Accounts Payable office and the designated building administrator or program director. Programs or organizations with delinquent accounts will be prohibited from registering for or participating in future events until all outstanding obligations, including late fees, have been remitted in full or a payment resolution has been established in writing with the organization’s Treasurer.

The new policies can be found in the ACTAA Organizational Handbook under Financial Policies > Account Receivables
