INTRODUCTION
Asset Liability Management(ALM) is a strategic approach of managing the balance sheet
dynamics in such a way that the net earnings are maximized. This approach is concerned with
management of net interest margin to ensure that its level and riskiness are compatible with the
risk return objectives of the .
If one has to define Asset and Liability management without going into detail about its
need and utility, it can be defined as simply “management of money” which carries value and
can change its shape very quickly and has an ability to come back to its original shape with or
without an additional growth. The art of proper management of healthy money is ASSET AND
LIABILITY MANAGEMENT (ALM).
As major part of funds at the disposal of come from outside sources, the management are
concerned about RISK arising out of shrinkage in the value of asset, and managing such risks
became critically important to them. Although co-operative are able to mobilize deposits, major
portions of it are high cost fixed deposits. Maturities of these fixed deposits were not properly
matched with the maturities of assets created out of them. The tool called ASSET AND
LIABILITY MANAGEMENT provides a better solution for this.
The need of the study is to concentrates on the growth and performance of The Housing
Development Finance Corporation Limited (HDFC) and to calculate the growth and
performance by using asset and liability management. And to know the management of
nonperforming assets.

Introduction:
In the normal course, the are exposed to credit and market risks in view of the asset
liability transformation. With the liberalization in the
Indian financial markets over the last few years and growing integration of domestic
markets and with external markets the risks associated with operations have become complex,
large, requiring stragic management. are now operating in a fairly deregulated environment and
are required to determine on their own, interest rates on deposits and advance in both domestic
and foreign currencies on a dynamic basis. The interest rates on investments in government and
other securities are also now market related. Intense competition for business involving both the
assets and liabilities, together with increasing volatility in the domestic interest rates, has brought
pressure on the management of to maintain a good balance among spreads, profitability and
long-term viability. Impudent liquidity management can put earnings an reputation at great risk.
These pressures call for structured and comprehensive measuresand not just adahoc action. The
management of has to base their business decisions on a dynamic and integrated risk
management system and process, driven by corporate strategy. are exposed to several major risks
in course of their business-credit risk, interest rate and operational risk therefore important than
introduce effective risk management systems that address the issues related to interest rate,
currency and liquidity risks.
s need to address these risks in a structured manner by upgrading their risk management
and adopting more comprehensive Asset-Liability management (ALM) practices than has been
done hitherto. ALM among other functions, is also concerned with risk management and
provides a comprehensive and dynamic framework for measuring, monitoring and managing
liquidity interest rate, foreign exchange and equity and commodity price risk of a that needs to
be closely integrated with the business strategy. It involves assement of various types of risks
altering the asset liability portfolio in a dynamic way in order to manage risks.
The initial focus of the ALM function would be to enforce the risk management
discipline, viz., managing business after assessing the risks involved.
In addition, the managing the spread and riskiness, the ALM function is more
appropriately viewed as an integrated approach which requires simultaneous decisions about
asset/liability mix and maturity structure.
Risk management is a dynamic process, which needs constant focus and attention. The
idea of risk management is a well-known investment principle that the largest potential returns
are associated with the riskiest ventures. There can be no single prescription for all times,
decisions have to be reversed at short notice. Risk, which is often used to mean uncertainty,
creates both opportunities and problems for business and individuals in nearly every walk of life.
Risk sometimes is consciously analyzed and managed; other times risk is simply ignored,
perhaps out of lack of knowledge of its consequences. If loss regarding risk is certain to occur, it
may be planned for in advance and treated as to definite, known expense. Businesses and
individuals may try to avoid risk of loss as much as possible or reduce its negative consequences.
Several types of risks that affect individuals and businesses were introduced, together
with ways to measure the amount of risk. The process used to systematically manage risk
exposure is known as RISK MANAGEMENT. Whether the concern is with a business or an
individual situation, the same general steps can be used to systematically analyze and deal with
risk.
STEPS IN RISK MANAGEMENT:
Risk identification
Risk evaluation
Risk management technique
Risk measurement
Risk review decisions
Integrated or enterprise risk management is an emerging view that recognizes the importance
of risk, regardless of its source, in affecting a firms ability to realize its strategic objectives. The
detailed risk management process is as follows;
Risk identification:
The first step in the risk management process is to identify relevant exposures to risk.
This step is important not only for traditional risk management, which focuses on uncertainty of
risks, but also for enterprise risk management, where much of the focus is on identifying the
firm’s exposures from a variety of sources, including operational, financial, and strategic
activities.
Risk evaluation:
Risk measurement:
Once risk sources have been identified it is often helpful to measure the extent of the risk
that exists. As pert of the overall risk evaluation, in some situations it may be possible to
measure the degree of risk in a meaningful way. In other cases, especially those involving
individuals computation of the degree of risk may not yield helpful information.
Following a decision about the optimal methods for handling identified risks, the
business or individual must implement the techniques selected. However, risk management
should be an ongoing process in which prior decisions are reviewed regularly. Sometimes new
risk exposures arise or significant changes in expected loss frequency or severity occur. The
dynamic nature of many risks requires a continual scrutiny of past analysis and decisions.
DIMENSIONS OF RISK
Specifically two broad categories of risk are the basis for classifying financial services risk.
(1) Product market Risk.
Total Risk
(Responsibility of CEO)
This risk decision relate to the operating revenues and expenses of the form that impact the
operating position of the profit and loss statements which include crisis, marketing, operating
systems, labor cost, technology, channels of distributions at strategic focus. Product Risks relate
to variations in the operating cash flows of the firm, which effect Capital Market, required Rates
Of Return;.
Risk in Product Market relate to the operational and strategic aspects of managing
operating revenues and expenses. The above types of Product Risks are explained as follows.
1. CREDIT RISK:
The most basic of all Product Market Risk in a or other financial intermediary is the
erosion of value due to simple default or non-payment by the borrower. Credit risk has been
around for centuries and is thought by many to be the dominant financial services today.
intermediate the risk appetite of lenders and essential risk ness of borrowers. manage this risk
by ; (A) making intelligent lending decisions so that expected risk of borrowers is both
accurately assessed and priced; (B) Diversifying across borrowers so that credit losses are not
concentrated in time; (C) purchasing third party guarantees so that default risk is entirely or
partially shifted away from lenders.
This is the risk that entire lines of business may succumb to competition or obsolescence.
In the language of strategic planner, commercial paper is a substitute product for large corporate
loans. Strategic risk occurs when a is not ready or able to compete in a newly developing line of
business. Early entrants enjoyed a unique advantage over newer entrants. The seemingly
conservative act of waiting for the market to develop posed a risk in itself. Business risk accrues
from jumping into lines of business but also from staying out too long.
Commodity prices affect and other lenders in complex and often unpredictable ways. The
macro effect of energy price increases on inflation also contributed to a rise in interest rates,
which adversely affected the value of many fixed rate financial assets. The subsequent crash in
oil prices sent the process in reverse with nearly equally devastating effects.
(4). OPERATING RISK:
Few risks are more complex and difficult to measure than those of personnel policy; they are
Recruitment, Training, Motivation and Retention. Risk to the value of the Non-Financial Assets
as represented by the work force represents a much more subtle of risk. Concurrent with the loss
of key personal is the risk of inadequate or misplaced motivation among management personal.
This human redundancy is conceptually equivalent to safety redundancy in operating systems. It
is not inexpensive, but it may well be cheaper than the risk of loss. The risk and rewards of
increased attention to the human resources dimension of management are immense.
This is the risk that the legal system will expropriate value from the shareholders of
financial services firms. The legal landscape today is full of risks that were simply unimaginable
even a few years ago. More over these risks are very hard to anticipate because they are often
unrelated to prior events which are difficult and impossible to designate but the management of a
financial services firm today must have these risks at least in view. They can cost millions.
In the Capital Market Risk decision relate to the financing and financial support of
Product Market activities. The result of product market decisions must be compared to the
required rate of return that results from capital market decision to determine if management is
creating value. Capital market decisions affect the risk tolerance of product market decisions
related to variations in value associated with different financial instruments and required rate of
return in the economy.
1. LIQUIDITY RISK
3. CURRENCY RISK
4. SETTLEMENT RISK
5. BASIS RISK
1. LIQUIDITY RISK:
For experienced financial services professionals, the foremost capital market risk is that of
inadequate liquidity to meet financial obligations. The obvious form is an inability to pay desired
withdrawals. Depositors react desperately to the mere prospect of this situation.
They can drive a financial intermediary to collapse by withdrawing funds at a rate that
exceeds its capacity to pay. For most of this century, individual depositors who lost faith in
ability to repay them caused failures from liquidity. Funds are deposited primarily as a financial
of rate. Such funds are called “purchased money” or “headset funds” as they are frequently
bought by employees who work on the money desk quoting rates to institutions that shop for the
highest return. To check liquidity risk, firms must keep the maturity profile of the liabilities
compatible with that of the assets. This balance must be close enough that a reasonable shift in
interest rates across the yield curve does not threaten the safety and soundness of the entire firm.
In extreme conditions, Interest Rate fluctuations can create a liquidity crisis. The fluctuation
in the prices of financial assets due to changes in interest rates can be large enough to make
default risk a major threat to a financial services firm’s viability. There’s a function of both the
magnitude of change in the rate and the maturity of the asset. This inadequacy of assessment and
consequent mispricing of assets, combined with an accounting system that did not record
unrecognized gains and losses in asset values, created a financial crisis. Risk based capital rules
pertaining to have done little to mitigate the interest rate risk management problem. The decision
to pass it of, however is not without large cost, so the cost benefit tradeoff becomes complex.
3. CURRENCY RISK:
The risk of exchange rate volatility can be described as a form of basis risk among
currencies instead of basis risk among interest rates on different securities. Balance sheets
comprised of numerous separate currencies contain large camouflaged risks through financial
reporting systems that do not require assets to be marked to market. Exchange rate risk affects
both the Product Markets and The Capital Markets. Ways to contain currency risk have
developed in today’s derivative market through the use of swaps and forward contracts. Thus,
this risk is manageable only after the most sophisticated and modern risk management technique
is employed
4. SETTLEMENT RISK:
Settlement Risk is a particular form of default risk, which involves the competitors.
Amounts settle obligations having to do with money transfer, check clearing, loan disbursement
and repayment, and all other inter- transfers within the worldwide monetary system. A single
payment is made at the end of the day instead of multiple payments for individual transactions.
5. BASIS RISK :
Basis risk is a variation on the interest rate risk theme, yet it creates risks that are less
easy to observe and understand. To guard against interest rate risk, somewhat non comparable
securities may be used as a hedge. However, the success of this hedging depends on a steady and
predictable relationship between the two no identical securities. Basis can negate the hedge
partially or entirely, which vastly increases the Capital Market Risk exposure of the firm.
Industry Profile
Banking in India
Banking in India originated in the last decades of the 18th century. The oldest bank in existence
in India is the State Bank of India, a government-owned bank that traces its origins back to June
1806 and that is the largest commercial bank in the country. Central banking is the responsibility
of the Reserve Bank of India, which in 1935 formally took over these responsibilities from the
then Imperial Bank of India, relegating it to commercial banking functions. After India's
independence in 1947, the Reserve Bank was nationalized and given broader powers. In 1969 the
government nationalized the 14 largest commercial banks; the government nationalized the six
next largest in 1980.
Currently, India has 96 scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) - 27 public sector banks (that is
with the Government of India holding a stake), 31 private banks (these do not have government
stake; they may be publicly listed and traded on stock exchanges) and 38 foreign banks. They
have a combined network of over 53,000 branches and 17,000 ATMs. According to a report by
ICRA Limited, a rating agency, the public sector banks hold over 75 percent of total assets of the
banking industry, with the private and foreign banks holding 18.2% and 6.5% respectively
Early history
Banking in India originated in the last decades of the 18th century. The first banks were The
General Bank of India which started in 1786, and the Bank of Hindustan, both of which are now
defunct. The oldest bank in existence in India is the State Bank of India, which originated in the
Bank of Calcutta in June 1806, which almost immediately became the Bank of Bengal. This was
one of the three presidency banks, the other two being the Bank of Bombay and the Bank of
Madras, all three of which were established under charters from the British East India Company.
For many years the Presidency banks acted as quasi-central banks, as did their successors. The
three banks merged in 1921 to form the Imperial Bank of India, which, upon India's
independence, became the State Bank of India.
Indian merchants in Calcutta established the Union Bank in 1839, but it failed in 1848 as a
consequence of the economic crisis of 1848-49. The Allahabad Bank, established in 1865 and
still functioning today, is the oldest Joint Stock bank in India. It was not the first though. That
honor belongs to the Bank of Upper India, which was established in 1863, and which survived
until 1913, when it failed, with some of its assets and liabilities being transferred to the Alliance
Bank of Simla.
When the American Civil War stopped the supply of cotton to Lancashire from the Confederate
States, promoters opened banks to finance trading in Indian cotton. With large exposure to
speculative ventures, most of the banks opened in India during that period failed. The depositors
lost money and lost interest in keeping deposits with banks. Subsequently, banking in India
remained the exclusive domain of Europeans for next several decades until the beginning of the
20th century.
Foreign banks too started to arrive, particularly in Calcutta, in the 1860s. The Comptoire
d'Escompte de Paris opened a branch in Calcutta in 1860, and another in Bombay in 1862;
branches in Madras and Pondichery, then a French colony, followed. HSBC established itself in
Bengal in 1869. Calcutta was the most active trading port in India, mainly due to the trade of the
British Empire, and so became a banking center.
The Bank of Bengal, which later became the State Bank of India.
The first entirely Indian joint stock bank was the Oudh Commercial Bank, established in 1881 in
Faizabad. It failed in 1958. The next was the Punjab National Bank, established in Lahore in
1895, which has survived to the present and is now one of the largest banks in India.
Around the turn of the 20th Century, the Indian economy was passing through a relative period
of stability. Around five decades had elapsed since the Indian Mutiny, and the social, industrial
and other infrastructure had improved. Indians had established small banks, most of which
served particular ethnic and religious communities.
The presidency banks dominated banking in India but there were also some exchange banks and
a number of Indian joint stock banks. All these banks operated in different segments of the
economy. The exchange banks, mostly owned by Europeans, concentrated on financing foreign
trade. Indian joint stock banks were generally under capitalized and lacked the experience and
maturity to compete with the presidency and exchange banks. This segmentation let Lord Curzon
to observe, "In respect of banking it seems we are behind the times. We are like some old
fashioned sailing ship, divided by solid wooden bulkheads into separate and cumbersome
compartments."
The period between 1906 and 1911, saw the establishment of banks inspired by the Swadeshi
movement. The Swadeshi movement inspired local businessmen and political figures to found
banks of and for the Indian community. A number of banks established then have survived to the
present such as Bank of India, Corporation Bank, Indian Bank, Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank
and Central Bank of India.
The fervour of Swadeshi movement lead to establishing of many private banks in Dakshina
Kannada and Udupi district which were unified earlier and known by the name South Canara
( South Kanara ) district. Four nationalised banks started in this district and also a leading private
sector bank. Hence undivided Dakshina Kannada district is known as "Cradle of Indian
Banking".

DATA ANALYSIS
&
INTERPRETATION
RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM :
The implementation of risk management varies from business to business, from one
management style to another and from one time to another. Risk management in the financial
services industry is different from others. Circumstances, Institutions and Managements are
different. On the other hand, an investment decision is no recent history of legal and political
stability, insights into the potential hazards and opportunities.
Many risks are managed quantitatively. Risk exposure is measured by some numerical
index. Risk cost tradeoff many tools are described by numerical valuation formulas.
Risk management can be integrated into a risk management system. Such a system can
be utilized to manage the trading position of a small-specialized division or an entire financial
institution. The modules of the system can be implemented with different degrees of accuracy
and sophistication.
RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Dynamic Risk
Target
Trading Rules Optimizer Risk Profile
The important ingredient of the risk management approach is the treatment of risk
factors and securities as an integrated portfolio. Analyzing the correlation among the real,
financial and strategic assets of an organization leads to clear understanding of risk
exposure. Special attention is paid to risk factors, which translate to correlation among
the values of securities. Identifying the correlation among the basic risk factors leads to
more effective risk management.
CONCLUSION
The burden of the Risk and its Costs are both manageable and transferable. Financial
service firms, in the addition to managing their own risk, also sell financial risk management to
others. They sell their services by bearing customers financial risks through the products they
provide. A financial firm can offer a fixed-rate loan to a borrower with the risk of interest rate
movements transferred from the borrower to the . Financial innovations have been concerned
with risk reduction then any other subject. With the possibility of managing risk near zero, the
challenge becomes not how much risk can be removed.
Financial services involve the process of intermediation between those who have financial
resources and those who need them, either as a principal or as an agent. Thus, value breaks into
several distinct functions, and it includes the intermediation of the following :
Maturity Preference mismatch, Default, Currency Preference mis-match, Size of
transaction and Market access and information.
The were required by the to introduce effective risk management systems to cover Credit
risk, market risk and Operations risk on priority.
Asset and liability management (ALM) is “the Art and Science of choosing the best mix
of assets for the firm’s asset portfolio and the best mix of liabilities for the firm’s liability
portfolio”. It is particularly critical for Financial Institutions.
For a long time it was taken for granted that the liability portfolio of financial firms was
beyond the control of the firm and so management concentrated its efforts on choosing the asset
mix. Institutions treasury department used the funds provided by deposits to structure an asset
portfolio that was appropriate for the given liability portfolio.
With the advent of Certificate Of Deposits (CDs), had a tool by which to manipulate the
mix of liabilities that supported their Asset portfolios, which has been one of the active
management of assets and liabilities.
Asset and liability management program evolve into a strategic tool for management, the
main elements of the ALM system are :
ALM INFORMATION.
ALM ORGANISATION.
ALM FUNCTION.
ALM INFORMATION :
ALM is a risk management tool through which Market risk associated with business are
identified, measured and monitored to maintain profits by restructuring Assets and Liabilities.
The ALM framework needs to be built on sound methodology with necessary information
system as back up. Thus the information is key element to the ALM process.
There are various methods prevalent worldwide for measuring risks. These range from the
simple Gap statement to extremely sophisticate and data intensive Risk adjusted profitability
measurement (RAPM) methods. The central element for the entire ALM exercise is the
availability of adequate and accurate information.
However, the existing systems in many Indian do not generate information in manner
required for the ALM. Collecting accurate data is the biggest challenge before the s, particularly
those having wide network of branches, but lacking full-scale computerization.
Therefore the introduction of these information systems for risk measurement and
monitoring has to be addressed urgently.
The large network of branches and the lack of support system to collect information
required for the ALM which analysis information on the basis of residual maturity and
behavioral pattern, it would take time for in the present state to get the requisite information.
ALM ORGANISATION :
Reviewing the interest rate outlook for pricing of assets and liabilities (Loans and
Deposits)
Deciding on the introduction of any new loan / deposit product and their impact on
interest rate / exchange rate and other market risks;
Reviewing the asset and liability portfolios and the risk limits and thereby, assessing the
capital adequacy;
Deciding on the desired maturity profile of incremental assets and liabilities and thereby
assessing the liquidity risk; and
Reviewing the variances in actual and projected performances with regard to Net Interest
Margin(NIM), spreads and other balance sheet ratios.
COMPOSITION OF HDFC
The size ( number of members) of HDFC would depend on the size of each institution,
business mix and organizational complexity, To ensure commitment of the Top management and
timely response to market dynamics, the CEO/MD or the GM should head the committee. The
chiefs of Investment, Credit, Resources Management or Planning, Funds Management / Treasury
(domestic), etc., can be members of the committee. In addition, the head of the computer
(technology) Division should also be an invitee for building up of
MIS and related computerization. Some may even have Sub-Committee and Support
Groups.

the following members.
The HDFC is a decision making unit responsible for ensuring adherence to the limits set by

management of interest rate and liquidity risks, in line with the budget and decided risk
management objectives.
The Business issues that an HDFC would consider interlaid will include fixation of interest
rates for both deposits and advances, desired maturity profile of the incremental assets and
liabilities etc.
The HDFC would also articulate the current interest rate due of the and base its decisions
for future business strategy on this view. In respect of funding policy, for instance, its
responsibility would be decided on source and mix of liability.
Individual will have to decide the frequency for their HDFC meetings. However, it is
advised that HDFC should meet at least once in a fortnight. The HDFC should review results of
and process in implementation of the decisions made in the previous meetings
ALM CELL
The ALM desk / cell consisting of operating staff should be responsible for analyzing,
monitoring and reporting the profiles to the HDFC. The staff should also prepare forecasts
(simulations) showing the effects of various possible changes in market conditions related to the
balance sheet and recommend the action needed to adhere to internal limits.
COMMITTEE OF DIRECTORS
ALM PROCESS
The RBI guidelines mainly address Liquidity Risk Management and Interest Rate Risk
Management.
The following are the concepts discussed for analysis of ’s Asset-Liability Management
under above mentioned risks.
● Liquidity Risk
● Maturity profiles
● Gap analysis
Measuring and managing liquidity needs are vital activities of the s. By assuring a ability
to meet its liability as they become due, liquidity management can reduce the probability of an
adverse situation development. The importance of liquidity transcends individual institutions, as
liquidity shortfall in one institution can have repercussions on the entire system.
Liquidity risk management refers to the risk of maturing liability not finding enough
maturing assets to meet these liabilities. It is the potential inability to meet the ’s liability as they
became due. This risk arises because borrows funds for different maturities in the form of
deposits, market operations etc. and lock them into assets of different maturities.
Liquidity Gap also arises due to unpredictability of deposit withdrawals, changes in loan
demands. Hence measuring and managing liquidity needs are vital for effective and viable
operations of the .
Liquidity measurement is quite a difficult task and usually the stock or cash flow
approaches are used for its measurement. The stock approach used certain liquidity ratios.
The liquidity ratios are the ideal indicators of liquidity of operating in developed financial
markets, the ratio do not reveal the real liquidity profile of which are operating generally
in a fairly illiquid market. The assets, which are commonly considered as liquid like
Government securities, have limited liquidity when the market and players are in one
direction. Thus analysis of liquidity involves tracking of cash flow mismatches.
The statement of structural liquidity may be prepared by placing all cash inflows and
outflows in the maturity ladder according to the expected timing of cash flows.
The MATURITY PROFILE could be used for measuring the future cash flows in different
time bands.
The position of Assets and Liabilities are classified according to the maturity patterns a
maturing liability will be a cash outflow while a maturing asset will be a cash inflows. The
measuring of the future cash flows of is done in different time buckets.
The time buckets, given the statutory Reserve cycle of 14 days may be distributed as under:
1. 1 to 14 days
2. 15 to 28 days
3. 29 days and upto 3 months
8. Over 5 years.
MATURITY PROFILE – LIQUIDITY
A.OUTFLOWS
1.Capital, Reserves and Surplus Over 5 years bucket.
5. NPAs
b. Sub-standard (I) 2-5 years bucket.
c. Doubtful and Loss (ii) Over 5 years bucket.
7. Other-office Adjustment
(i) Inter-office Adjustment (i) As per trend analysis,
Intangible items or items
not representing cash
receivables may be shown
in over 5 years bucket.
(ii) Others (i) Respective maturity
buckets. Intangible assets
and assets not representing
cash receivables may be
shown in over 5 years
bucket.
Terms used:
Other Liabilities: Cash payables, Income received in advance, Loan Loss and
Depreciation in Investments.
The changes in interest rates affect in large way. The immediate impact of change in
interest rates is on ’s earnings by changing its Net Interest Income (NII). A long term impact of
changing interest rates is on ’s Market Value of Equity (MVE) or net worth as the economic
value of ’s assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet positions get affected due to variation in
market interest rates.
The risk from the earnings perspective can be measured as changes in the Net Interest
Income (NII) OR Net Interest Margin (NIM).
There are many analytical techniques for measurement and management of interest rate
risk. In MIS of ALM, slow pace of computerization in and the absence of total deregulation, the

LIQUIDITY RATIOS
CURRENT RATIO:
This is the most widely used ratio. It is the ratio of current assets and current liabilities. It shows
a firm’s ability to cover its current liabilities with its current assets. Generally 2:1 is considered
ideal for concern i.e. current assets should be twice of the current liabilities. If the current assets
are two times of the current liabilities, there will be no adverse effect on business operations
when the payment of current liabilities is made. If the ratio is less than 2, difficulty may be
experienced in the payment of current liabilities and day-to-day operation of the business may
suffer. If the ratio is higher than 2, it is comfortable for the creditor but, for the business
concern, it is indicator of idle funds and a lack of enthusiasm for work. It is calculated as
follows:
CURRENT RATIO = CURRENT ASSETS / CURRENT LIABILITIES
For the calculation this ratio
Current assets include inventories, sundry debtors, cash and bank balances and loans and
advances.
Current liabilities include current liabilities and provisions.

current liabilities with its most liquid or quick assets. The standard ratio 1:1 is considered ideal
ratio for a concern. Liquid assets are those, which can be converted into cash within a short
period of time without loss of value. This can be calculated by using the formula.

2. TURNOVER RATIO
INVENTORY TURNOVER RATIO:
This ratio, also known as stock turnover ratio, establishes relationship between cost of goods sold
during a given period and the average amount of inventory held during that period. This ratio
reveals the number of items finished stock is turned over during a given accounting period.
Higher the ratio the better it is because it shows that finished stock rapidly turned over. On the
other hand, a low stock turnover ratio is not desirable because it reveals the accumulation of
obsolete stock, or the carrying of too much stock. This ratio is calculated as follows :
STOCK TURNOVER RATIO = COST OF GOODS SOLD / AVERAGE STOCK
For the calculation of this ratio
COST OF GOODS SOLD = OPENING STOCK + PURCHASES + MANUFACTURING EXPENSES –
CLOSING STOCK
AVERAGE STOCK = OPENING STOCK + CLOSING STOCK / 2
