Lesson: Company Working Capital Metrics

In this lesson, Nick Palazzolo, CPA, zeros in on how to gauge a company's operational efficiency through the lens of working capital metrics. He navigates through key indicators such as Return on Equity (ROE), current ratio, accounts receivable turnover, cash conversion cycle, and growth rate, illustrating their significance and what they reveal about a company's financial health in comparison to industry benchmarks. Particular emphasis is placed on understanding whether higher or lower values of these metrics are desirable and how it reflects on a company's performance and potential operational issues. Beyond just identifying these metrics, Nick ensures that there's clarity on their interrelationships and their roles in assessing and contrasting company performance within the business environment.
