Answer Details
Creditors use accounting information for assessing a company's liquidity. Liquidity is a company's ability to meet its short-term financial obligations as they come due. Creditors are interested in assessing a company's liquidity as it helps them determine the likelihood of the company being able to pay back the money they owe. By analyzing financial statements, creditors can determine a company's liquidity ratios such as the current ratio, quick ratio, and cash ratio.
