What should you do to get an alert when a specific department has past due accounts?

Establishing an event-driven notification for past due accounts is an effective method to receive alerts automatically when a specific department has accounts that are overdue. This approach leverages technology to monitor account statuses continuously and sends notifications when predefined criteria, such as past due accounts, are met. By setting up this system, you ensure timely alerts without the need for manual checking or consistent follow-ups, allowing you to address past due accounts promptly and efficiently.

Other options may involve additional effort or delay. For instance, a manual notification requires proactive input each time, which may be less efficient than an automated system. Requesting information from a Program Administrator or checking account status regularly places the burden on you to remember to follow up, which could lead to missed alerts and potentially more significant issues down the line. In contrast, the automated nature of an event-driven notification streamlines the process and enhances oversight.
