trade receivables/accounts receivable settled over the last year
Collection/collecting is the process for getting the actual payment from a debtor (riscossione), while settlement is when they actually pay and you have money in the bank! In fact, credit terms granted to a customer are also referred to as the settlement period. You can use the terms: trade receivables (as in financial statements), accounts receivable (UK) or just receivables. I prefer trade receivables for crediti commerciali. i don't know where you got "average" from.

This year would refer to 2012, while I think your questionnaire is referring the the last financial year or period. That's why it's last year or the last operating period closed, otherwise figures would be partial (up to whenexactly in 2012?) - Alison

Note from asker:
| Ok , Thanks a lot Alison. I put average because I thought it meant the receivables on average. |
| In this context I think ''dell'ultimo anno'' means ''this year'' because of other similar entries related to the same topic that you know. So do you think '' trade receivables settled over this year'' is correct or do you think I am wrong? |
| Yes Alison, indeed there are many figures with 0, I don't know...I think everything in the questionnaire refers to 2012 |
| Ok, thanks Alison. According to the context,do I have to use ''the present perfect tense, the present progressive or the future with will with the time phrase'' current year''? |
| Which one is the most suitable? |
| Good morning Alison, yesterday I answered your last question. It might have had some problems to be seen by you, I am going to answer again : Ok, thanks Alison. According to the context,do I have to use ''the present perfect tense, the present progressive or the future with will with the time phrase ''current year''? |
| Ok, thanks a lot Alison! |
