Short term Assets & Liabilities

• Current Assets: Assets that are expected to be converted into cash in less than 12 months: Cash, Accounts Receivables, Inventory, Prepaid Expenses (expressed in currency)
• Current Liabilities: Bills that must be paid within 12 months of the date of the Balance Sheet: Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses, Current Portion of Debt, Income Taxes Payable (expressed in currency)
• Working Capital: Amount of money the enterprise has to work with in the short-term (also called 'Net Current Assets' or 'Funds') (expressed in currency)

Long term Assets & Liabilities

• Non-Current Assets: Long-term investments that are not easily converted to cash or are not expected to become cash within an accounting year (expressed in currency)
• Non-Current Liabilities: Long Term financial obligations that become due beyond 12 months (expressed in currency)

Total Assets & Liabilities

• Total Assets: The final amount of all gross investments, cash and equivalents, receivables, and other assets as they are presented on the balance sheet (expressed in currency)
• Total Liabilities: Current Liabilities and Long-Term Debt (expressed in currency)
• Total Equity: Determines how much a company would have left over in assets if the company went out of business immediately (expressed in currency)

Liquidity Ratios

• Current ratio: Business's ability to meet its payment obligations as they fall due
• Quick ratio: Determine a debtor's ability to pay off current debt obligations with its most liquid assets (i.e.: "Cash" and "Accounts Receivable")

Leverage Ratios

• Debt-to-Equity Ratio: Measures the degree to which a company is financing its operations with debt rather than its own resources
• Debt Ratio: Measures the extent of a company’s leverage. It can be interpreted as the proportion of a company’s assets that are financed by debt
• Debt-to-Asset Ratio: Defines how much debt a company owns compared to its assets. This information reflects how financially stable a company is (expressed in %)

• Month (date): Month
• KPI Code (string): KPI Code according to defined rules (*)

(*) "KPI Code" is an attribute where specific values are expected:

• 'NLIABILITIES'**: Noncurrent Liabilities (Actual)
• 'BUD_NLIABILITIES'**: Noncurrent Liabilities (Budget)
