English translation: working capital analysis

23:09 Dec 1, 2018
French to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Finance (general) / DCG course program
French term or phrase: analyse liquidité - exigibilité
This is listed on the DCG course program (Diplome de Comptabilite et de Gestion, a French undergraduate course in accounting), as one of the types of financial analysis not addressed in a unit called "Le diagnostic financier des comptes sociaux".

I know "exigibilité" is related to payment requirements, but I'm not sure how to refer to this type of analysis in a succinct way.

Any ideas?

Thanks, this was what I ended up going with as reference explanation was so clear, although I'm not convinced it's necessarily better than the first answer. We might need more opinions?

Example sentence(s):
  • The bank will deliver quarterly liquidity maturity analysis returns to the FSA on a whole firm basis, but will also use the Lombard Risk s
  • The liquidity maturity analysis is prepared on an undiscounted basis.

Notes to answerer
Asker: I can see the logic of this choice and it was a close call with second answer. I went with that one as the reference was a very clear explanation , the concept fit the context (unit included working capital) and for the translation purpose the difference wasn't highly important. However, I'd like more opinions before adding to glossary.

agree  philgoddard: But English doesn't use hyphens in this way. "Liquidity and maturity".

Liquidity-Debt maturity profile analysis.


Explanation:
This is the heading you will see in annual reports.

Liquidity (cash/ cash flow) must be compared with the future debt repayments (Debt maturity profile).

I am an ex-investment banker and run lectures on this very subject.

Asker: Thanks Jean-Charles for your revised suggestion of "liquidation analysis" via pm.

disagree  Francois Boye: the concept of working capital is more encompassing than your translation!
