    They are both the same. But sometimes you might come across a credit control position whereby you don’t raise the sales invoices. A separate department does this. In theory you can raise the sales invoices as well as collecting the cash. It really depends how big the company is.

    I would go for jobs that offers both that way you have experience to deal with both.

    I dont agree they are the same

    Quite often, in my experience, a credit controller will be focused and targetted on ensuring that cash is received for outstanding invoices that are due, Accounts receivable will be responsible for raising these invoices and maintaining the receivables ledger

    Quite often , the 2 roles will be separate, but maybe combined in smaller companies. I think for the purposes of a job spec, you need to be clear what the responsibilites for the rolle will be, as they can be very different jobs.
