käteisvarallisuutta
Käteisvarallisuutta refers to a company's most liquid assets, essentially cash and assets that can be quickly converted into cash. This category typically includes physical currency, money held in bank accounts, and short-term investments that are highly liquid and have a maturity of three months or less. The purpose of holding käteisvarallisuutta is to ensure a company has enough funds to meet its immediate financial obligations, such as paying suppliers, employees, and operating expenses. It also provides a buffer against unexpected financial needs or market downturns. Analyzing a company's käteisvarallisuutta is a key component of assessing its short-term solvency and financial health. A high level of käteisvarallisuutta can indicate financial stability, but excessively high amounts might suggest inefficient use of capital that could be invested elsewhere for higher returns. Conversely, insufficient käteisvarallisuutta can signal liquidity problems, making it difficult for the company to operate smoothly. Financial statements, particularly the balance sheet, will categorize and report these assets.
