"marketable securities" (or something equivalent) if you're talking about "titoli".
Grey Drane (X) Dec 4, 2005:
Well then it must be "current assets" since all of the items it refers to are current assets. BTW, I suspect you'll want to change "other credits" to "other receivables", and for clarity, you might want to change "stock" to "inventories" or...
Andrew Spannaus (asker) Dec 4, 2005:
It's just a heading at the top, but then is repeated as "total sostanza circolante" after the categories above, with the aggregate number.
Grey Drane (X) Dec 4, 2005:
Sounds more like "current assets" then, but I've never come across "sostanza" on a balance sheet (or anywhere else for that matter). Does it have it's own balance or is it just a heading/total for the items that follow?
Andrew Spannaus (asker) Dec 4, 2005:
some context It's just an item on a balance sheet, under attivi.
The first item under attivi, and then under it come cash, banks, other credits, stock, accrued income and prepaid expenses.

context?

working capital

I've never heard the expression before, but I'd say it's more likely to be "working capital" than "current assets". But context would be nice.

FWIW
