November 11 2008 - 11:59AM
Business Wire
The latest Cash Masters Survey from CFO Asia and REL offers hints
on how to prepare for a slowing economy. As Warren Buffett likes to
say, you don�t know who�s been swimming naked until the tide goes
out. Although this latest CFO Asia/REL Consulting Cash Masters
Survey covers 2007, a happier time for the APAC 850 (the 850
largest Asia Pacific companies in terms of sales), it may offer a
few hints about how to get your business suit ready for what
promises to be one of the corporate world�s highest, driest periods
in decades. The reason is that the Cash Masters survey ranks
companies by their cash conversion efficiency (CCE)�free cash flow
from operations over sales. Overall, REL found that the cash
conversion efficiency among the APAC 850 last year averaged 9.5
percent, 1.1 percentage points higher than last year in absolute
cash terms, and 4.8 percentage points more than in 2006. Although
still less cash-conversion efficient than Western companies, Asian
growth kept pace. Click Here to Link to Full Text of Article or
