Home » CMA Glossary Term » Financial Statements and Reporting » Net Working Capital

Net working capital is defined as the difference between a company’s current assets and current liabilities, serving as a measure of its short-term financial health and operational efficiency. It indicates the liquidity available to meet short-term obligations and fund day-to-day operations. A positive net working capital suggests that a company can cover its short-term liabilities, while a negative figure may signal potential liquidity issues.
