Due diligence / 04

Five places working capital can hide risk.

Receivable ageing, inventory build-up, supplier terms, advances and cash-flow divergence.

Our method

Structured analysis.
Clear limitations.

Good research should show its reasoning. We aim to separate reported facts from interpretation, highlight assumptions and identify what remains unknown.

STEP 01

Start with sources

Financial statements, company filings, credible disclosures and relevant industry data.

STEP 02

Test the numbers

Compare earnings with cash flow, balance-sheet movements and peer economics.

STEP 03

Build the context

Consider competition, demand, pricing, capital needs and business risks.

STEP 04

State what is uncertain

Make assumptions, gaps and limitations visible instead of overstating certainty.
