A current asset is something that a business can easily convert into cash within 12 months. Examples of current assets include cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory, and anything that can be sold or converted into cash promptly. Current assets are important because if a company’s current liabilities exceed its current assets it may struggle to pay its bills. See also Asset, Fixed.
