The cash conversion cycle is a measure of how long the cash is tied up in short term loans and credits. These short-term financing items include receivables, inventory and accounts payable. The first two of these represent sources of cash while accounts payable represent a future drain of cash. So the cash conversion cycle is defined as: CCC = (Average receivables collection period) plus (Average inventory processing time) minus (Average payables payment period). A low cash conversion cycle could indicate that you are either collecting your debts or churning inventory faster or you are paying your bills slower.
