Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using negative accounts receivable confirmations rather than positive confirmations.

The primary advantage of negative confirmations is that they are less expensive than positive confirmations because there are no second requests and no follow-up of nonresponses. The primary disadvantage of negative confirmations is that they are less reliable than positive confirmations because a nonresponse must be regarded as a correct response, even though the debtor may have ignored the confirmation request.
