Financial reporting and liquidity analysis
[edit]In financial reporting, liquid capital is closely related to cash and cash equivalents. Under IAS 7, cash consists of cash on hand and demand deposits, while cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.[2] These assets are used in assessing a firm's ability to meet short-term cash requirements and are distinguished from less liquid assets such as inventories, fixed assets, or long-term investments.[3]
