WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

WHAT IS WORKING CAPITAL ?

A company’s working capital essentially consists of current assets and current


liabilities. Current assets refer to those assets that can be converted into cash within
one year, like debtors, and stock and prepaid expenses- expenses that have already
been paid for. Current liabilities are the day-to-day debts incurred by a business in its
operation. These could be credit purchases made from vendors (creditors) and
outstanding expenses (expenses that are yet to be paid).
