Working Capital
رأس المال العامل
📖 Definition
Working capital is the difference between current assets and current liabilities. Measures a company's short-term liquidity and ability to meet daily operational expenses.
In everyday Saudi accounting work, working capital matters because it affects invoice accuracy, financial reporting, tax filing, or ZATCA compliance depending on the transaction.
📖 التعريف بالعربية
رأس المال العامل هو الفرق بين الأصول المتداولة والالتزامات المتداولة. يقيس السيولة قصيرة الأجل للشركة وقدرتها على الوفاء بالمصروفات التشغيلية اليومية.
💡 Example
Current assets SAR 500K - current liabilities SAR 300K = working capital SAR 200K. Positive = healthy liquidity.
أصول متداولة 500 ألف - التزامات متداولة 300 ألف = رأس مال عامل 200 ألف ريال. إيجابي = سيولة صحية.
