Accounts Receivable And Accounts Payable [Abstract] |
Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable | Note 11 – Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable Accounts receivable, net As described in Note 2, the Company’s accounts receivable are primarily related to the operations of its business. With respect to auction proceeds and asset dispositions, including NLEX’s brokerage transactions, the assets are not released to the buyer until payment has been received. The Company, therefore, is not exposed to significant collectability risk relating to these receivables. Given this experience, together with the ongoing business relationships between the Company and its joint venture partners, the Company has not historically required a formal credit quality assessment in connection with these activities. The Company has not experienced any significant collectability issues with its accounts receivable. As the Company’s business expands, more comprehensive credit assessments may be required. The Company's allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $0.1 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.
