are known as working capital management. It involves the relationship between a firm’s short-

operation and that it has sufficient cash flow to satisfy both maturing short term debt and
upcoming operational expenses.

INTRODUCTION :-
Working capital is the life blood and nerve centre of a business. Just as circulation of blood is
essential in the human body for maintaining life, working capital is very essential to maintain the
smooth running of a business. No business can run successfully without an adequate amount of
working capital.
There is operative aspects of working capital i.e. current assets which is known as funds also
employed to the business process from the gross working capital Current asset comprises cash
receivables, inventories, marketable securities held as short term investment and other items
nearer to cash or equivalent to cash. Working capital comes into business operation when actual
operation takes place generally the requirement of quantum of working capital is determined by
the level of production which depends upon the management attitude towards risk and the factors
which influence the amount of cash, inventories, receivables and other current assets required to
support given volume of production.
Working capital management as usually concerned with administration of the current assets as
well as current liabilities. The area includes the requirement of funds from various resources and
to utilize them in all result oriented manner. It can be stated without exaggeration that effective
working capital management is the short requirement of long term success.
The importance of working capital management is indisputable; Business liability relies on its
ability to effective management of receivables, inventory, and payables. By minimizing the
amount of funds tied up in current assets. Firms are able to reduce financing costs or increase the
