Summary of Working Capital
A measurement of a firm's liquidity, determined by the excess of current assets over current liabilities. The ratio so derived is the working capital ratio.

Literature Review on Working Capital
In the Encyclopedia of Public Administration and Public Policy, [1] Justin Marlowe offers the following summary about the topic of Working Capital: The long-term viability of any public organization is heavily dependent on that organization's effective use of working capital. Working capital provides operations managers with financial resources to meet short-term obligations, generate interest income through short-term investments, take advantage of discounts and other limited-term procurement opportunities, and address many other day-to-day concerns. Moreover, sound working capital management practices can free up cash during tough fiscal times, thus mitigating the need for costly short-term borrowing. Working capital management is therefore one of the central concerns facing public financial managers. This entry examines working capital from both an accounting and a financial managerial perspective.
