Reviewing liquidity risk

A business needs some liquidity, for example access to assets that can be easily converted to cash to cover short-term financial obligations. A profitable business may find that it has to cease operating if it is unable to pay off its liabilities because it can't quickly convert its assets into cash.

This course explains common causes of liquidity risks, and how you can use ratios to identify potential areas of risk.

What will I learn?

After completing this course, you will be able to:
