C URRENT A SSETS Cash and cash equivalents: Cash represents money immediately available to management to spend for “anything”; including foreign currency translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that have these two characteristics: - readily convertible into known amounts of cash and - so near their maturity that there is insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less meet the definition. 4Working Capital
