Current Assets
Is an asset that can easily
be sold or converted into
cash. Current assets are
vital to the operations of
the business. They are used
as funding for the daily
operations and to pay short-
1. Cash and Cash
Equivalents
Cash is actual money. Cash
equivalents are current assets
that are easily convertible into
cash. Some examples of cash
equivalents are savings
accounts, checking accounts,
bonds that are maturing within
2. Short-term
Investment
Although it is good to
have cash in order to
have enough to support
operations, too much
idle cash could mean
inefficient use of
company assets. In
order to avoid such
inefficiency, companies
2. Short-term
Investment
For instance, if a firm
has significant amount
of cash which it does not
anticipate to use for the
next six months, the
finance manager, with
top management
approval, may decide to
2. Short-term Investment
Furthermore, placement
of cash in short-term
investment eliminates
the possibility that such
cash will be used for
something else than its
intended purpose.
3. Marketable
These are very liquid short-term
Securities
investment and they are a good
substitute to cash. Although the
yield on marketable securities
are much lower compared to
other financial instruments,
firms-the larger ones, most
especially-have them and find
them very beneficial. Aside from
the yield, marketable securities
are also serve to finance the
4. Accounts Receivables
These represent products and services sold by the firm
to customer on credit. Equally important with
managing a firm’s cash and cash equivalents is having
an effective system in place for managing its
receivable. A firm certainly needs to work with
customers and provide them with attractive credit
terms.
4. Accounts Receivables
However, goods and services sold on credit have to be
collected within a reasonable amount of time to ensure
that the firm has enough cash to support its operations
and pay its short-term obligations. Another issue face
by the finance manager on collection is when payments
issued by customers are post dated check.
4. Accounts Receivables
Post-dated check can only be encashed at a later date.
Thus, it would be beneficial for the firm to speed up
collection process and the eventual conversion of the
payments into cash. One payment arrangement that is
commonly used by firms is preauthorized debits.
4. Account Receivables
Preauthorized debit is a payment system that works
well when a firm collects repetitive or routine
payments from customers. In this arrangement, funds
from a customer’s bank account are automatically
transferred into the firm’s bank account.
5. Inventory
This includes raw materials, work in process, and
products that are ready to be sold. Not having enough
inventory will result to lost sales and dissatisfied
customers. However, too much inventory is
counterproductive as surplus inventory is akin to
money sitting idly; money could be used for the other
operational needs of the firm. Excess inventory also
exposes the firm to the risk of pilferage and
obsolescence.
5. Inventory
For instance, a local firm engaged in the
manufacturing of bread, cakes, and pastries closely
monitor the level of supply of raw materials such as
eggs, lard, oil, butter, and flour. In one of the internal
audits conducted by the accounting supervisor, it was
discovered that excessive supplies of raw materials
made it harder for the firm to monitor shortage and
variances.
Fixed Assets
Is a type of asset that the
firm does not expect to sell
or otherwise convert to cash
within a year or the current
period. Fixed asset cannot
be easily converted into
