Current liabilities are essential to enable an investor, creditors and employees know how much a company owes in the short term. It assists investors to make decisions on lending company money or other resources. The current ratio or quick ratio usually determine whether a company can pay off its current liabilities. Financial ratios are used to understand how the company is fairing in terms of debt. Current ratio shows amount of assets to liabilities and point to the ability to pay.

Most investors would invest in a company that has less debt within a financial year or progressed in paying off debt in a financial period. Investors would compare amount of short term debt to cash position within current asset to compare financial standing of the company. Paying debts requires one to change some assets to cash, this will help you compare how much current asset you have and lets you know how much liquid cash you have. Looking at apples financial statement can help determine which liabilities are priorities to take care of and which assets can be converted to assist with to maintain the financial position of the company. It is advisable as above financial statement that a company with accrued expenses total liabilities would drastically increase.

A financial statement summarizes the company’s assets liabilities and shareholders’ equity at a specific point in time to analyze how a company pays for things (Weygand, Kieso, 2008). The balance sheet is efficient because it accounts for cash inventory and property on the asset side while accounts payable or long-term debt is accounted on the liability side. This allows investors to evaluate company’s performance and gives a prospect on the way forward. The balance sheet also presents the strengths of a company; investors are able to factually calculate days of working capital. Balance sheets can also identify trends of how net profit is used, receivables and the payables.
