analyse liquidité - exigibilité

French to English Bus/Financial Finance (general) DCG course program
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?

Jessica Griffiths (asker) Dec 9, 2018:
REVISED ANSWER Upon further discussion with Proz colleagues I chose a different translation:

LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS

This was based on feedback from a colleague specialised in the area, and on evidence such as here: http://www.unit.eu/cours/kit-gestion-ingenieur/Chapitre-2/Co...

French term (edited): L\'analyse liquidité - exigibilité

Liquidity - maturity analysis

The liquidity maturity analysis is prepared using the static year end balance sheet position and contractual expiry dates

https://www.google.pt/search?q="liquidity / maturity analysi...
Example sentence:

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.

Note from 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.

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.
Note from asker:
Thanks Jean-Charles for your revised suggestion of "liquidation analysis" via pm.
Peer comment(s):

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