An analysis of the liquidity positions of South African companies by means of traditional liquidity and cash flow ratios

The first objective of the study is to determine the differences that exist between the two classes of ratios used to measure liquidity of a business entity. A comparison will then be made between these liquidity ratios. The second objective is to illustrate that cash flow ratios are a better indication of liquidity of an entity than the traditional ratios. The traditional and cash flow ratios will illustrate the position of liquidity with information utilised from the various bankrupt companies’ financial statements, including the statement of financial position and statement of cash flows. Four years’ financial statement data will be used to illustrate the deteriorating liquidity positions of the companies.
