Key findings
What will we find?
Every finding names what was observed, why it matters and what to do. The four below are illustrative examples of the kind of finding the diagnostic produces.
High priority
Accounts receivable grew faster than revenue.
Why it matters
Collection is slowing relative to sales. The gap is financed by the company, and it never shows up in the income statement.
Recommended action
Review credit terms by customer segment and separate genuine disputes from routine late payment.
High priority
Customer concentration is a material commercial risk.
Why it matters
The top five customers account for a share of revenue at which losing one materially changes the year.
Recommended action
Quantify the exposure per customer and set a concentration target for the next four quarters.
Medium priority
Inventory turnover is below target.
Why it matters
A share of working capital is held in items that do not move at the rate the rest of the catalogue does.
Recommended action
Identify slow-moving items by value and decide, per item, whether to discount, return or stop reordering.
Medium priority
Gross margin fell in a key product category.
Why it matters
The decline is driven by input cost, not by price. It has been absorbed rather than passed through.
Recommended action
Compare purchase price movement against list price by category and decide where to reprice.
