Cash and Cash Equivalents

Explanation: Cash and Cash Equivalents is a combined line item on a company’s balance sheet that includes cash on hand and other highly liquid assets that are easily convertible to cash. Cash equivalents typically have a short maturity period, usually three months or less. Examples of cash equivalents include treasury bills, money market funds, and short-term government bonds.

Companies report their Cash and Cash Equivalents to provide insights into their liquidity position. It is an important indicator for investors and analysts assessing the company’s ability to meet its short-term financial obligations.

Examples: As of FY23, TCS had cash and cash equivalents of 11,032 crore. This means that TCS had 11,032 crore in readily available cash or assets that could be quickly converted into cash. These funds can be used to cover day-to-day operating expenses, make investments, pay off debts, or seize opportunities as they arise.
