Liquidity Analysis

What is a Liquidity Analysis Dashboard? Liquidity visualization tools are considered financial dashboards and are often used by CFOs, controllers and treasurers to monitor and predict the company's liquidity. Key functionality in this type of dashboard shows trends in important metrics such as current ratio, debt-to-asset ratio, debt-to-equity ratio, receivables, payables and cash. It also displays rankings of top payables by vendor and top receivables by customer. The two charts on the right side show how each of the company's divisions contribute to the total consolidated AR and AP figures. The links in the lower left corner open supporting cash flow and balance sheet financial statements, as well as, a cash flow simulation. You will find an example of this type of dashboard below.

When used as part of good business practices in a Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) department, a company can improve its liquidity, as well as, reduce the chances that the business runs into a situation where it has to scramble to seek additional funding.
