	Fool.com: Current Assets [How to Read a Balance Sheet]
		The first major component of the balance sheet is Current Assets, which are assets that a company has at its disposal that can be easily converted into cash within one operating cycle.
		Current assets are important because it is from current assets that a company funds its ongoing, day-to-day operations.
		If there is a shortfall in current assets, then the company is going to have to dig around to find some other form of short-term funding, which normally results in interest payments or dilution of shareholder value through the issuance of more shares of stock.

	Current - Intangible Asset Valuation
		For example, determining the appropriate value of an intangible asset (or set of intangible assets) may be necessary or useful for corporate planning, establishing royalty rates, intercompany transfer prices or even litigation dispute and resolution (although often this is tied into taxation related reasons!).
		One should be mindful that the distinction between intangible assets and characteristics of intangible assets is important, especially when valuing a particular intangible asset or set of intangible assets.
		Understanding the reason for the intangible asset valuation, whether for tax purposes, corporate planning, or dispute resolution, is paramount when considering the nature of the intangible asset under investigation.

	IACP - Legislative & Policy
		S.1701 was drafted to modify current forfeiture laws to respond to concerns regarding fairness and due process without undermining law enforcement's ability to effectively seize the assets of combat drug dealers and other criminals.

	IAS Plus International Accounting Standards IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		With respect to long-lived assets that are not being disposed of, the impairment recognition and measurement standards in SFAS 144 are significantly different from those in IAS 36 Impairment of Assets.
		The measurement basis required for non-current assets classified as held for sale is applied to the group as a whole, and any resulting impairment loss reduces the carrying amount of the non-current assets in the disposal group in the order of allocation required by IAS 36.
		Assets classified as held for sale, and the assets and liabilities included within a disposal group classified as held for sale, must be presented separately on the face of the balance sheet.

	Financial Ratio Analysis - Current Asset Turnover
		Given the rates of change in the turnover and current assets, 59% and 84%, this result has behaved exactly as we would have expected: when the rate of increase in current assets is higher than the rate of increase in turnover, the ratio will fall.
		Cross-reference: now that we know that the current asset turnover ratio has worsened a little, we need to monitor the effect of this change in detail in our review of the three working capital ratios we are about to look at: stock, debtors' and creditors' turnover.
		Two of these are part of the current assets turnover ratio and therefore have some influence on its value.

	ASSET/LIABILITY RATIO WHEN EVALUATING CREDIT WORTHINESS
		In working with credit granting professionals over the years, Williams and Williams has come to the conclusion that a favorite analytical tool is the “Current Asset/Current Liability Ratio.” This ratio provides a clue as to the debtor’s immediate borrowing ability and also tells a story about current cash flow.
		Lending institutions, no matter what equity position is stated, look unencumbered assets (current assets) and the other essential ingredient is “payback ability,” which, of course, is cash flow.
		In evaluating credit, remember one of the most important tools is the “Current Asset/Current Liability Ratio.” It is one of the best analytical tools that a credit grantor can have in his or her repertoire.
