Under accrual accounting, the A/R are booked as revenue when sales are booked but the cash has not yet been received. When the cash comes in, the A/R balance is reduced.

A/R's are not reservoirs of deferred income. Deferred income is a balance sheet liability that generally occurs when goods are shipped but not taken into income until the sale/earnings process is finally completed..

IMO, Maverick's statement would be true if the deferred income balance were increasing, but not A/R

Am I missing something here? I got my CPA in 1976 but haven't practiced in a while.
