2024 Working Capital Survey: Key Insights and How to Recalibrate
For the first time in a decade, the U.S. companies in our survey experienced simultaneous degradation across all three major working capital metrics – accounts receivables, accounts payables and inventory. This triple threat points to a critical turning point, revealing a staggering $1.76 trillion in untapped working capital opportunity. It stresses the urgency for companies to optimize and free up cash amidst ongoing economic uncertainties.
