When a company pledges its accounts receivable, it is using these accounts only as collateral for a loan, and the servicing activities remain its responsibility. (Servicing activities are the routine collection and administration functions.) The company records the loan as a liability in the usual manner. Then when it collects the receivable, it uses the cash to repay the loan plus any interest charges. Upon full payment of the loan the pledge is cancelled.
