Financial claims arising from the direct extension of credit by the suppliers of goods and services to their customers, and advances for work that is in progress or is yet to be undertaken, in the form of prepayment by customers for goods and services not yet provided. Trade credits and advances arise when payment for goods or services is not made at the same time as the change in ownership of a good or provision of a service.
