Which statement best describes net recoveries in CLFP metrics?

• A. A measure of total cash collected before deductions.
• B. The total collected after applying taxes.
• C. The number of accounts recovered.
• D. Net recoveries equal the amount recovered after deducting costs, fees, and expenses.

Answer: (D)

Net recoveries represent the actual cash recovered after you subtract the costs of the collection effort. This makes the statement that net recoveries equal the amount recovered after deducting costs, fees, and expenses the best description. It distinguishes what you physically receive from the total money collected (gross recoveries) by accounting for the expenses tied to collecting—such as third-party fees, attorney costs, court fees, and processing. The other options point to gross cash collected before deductions, taxes, or simply the count of accounts recovered, none of which capture the subtractive, expense-based aspect that defines net recoveries.
