## Definition

The sale of receivables to a factoring company for a short period only. The purpose of the assignment is - to cover up high outstanding debts to the outside world - for example at the end of the quarter, on the balance sheet date, then also known as New Year's Eve cleaning - and - to show a higher equity ratio by paying off debts with the liquidity transferred by the factoring company. In this way, it may be possible to achieve a better rating and thus more favorable credit terms with a bank. Of course, banks now also examine a customer's documents with regard to such transactions when checking creditworthiness (scoring). - See disclosures, disguised, accounting cosmetics, accounting, creative, accounting, manipulative, factoring, plain text, crystallization, factual design, consistency, transparency, loss camouflage, materiality, reliability, fitness for purpose.
