    You can never be sure in the exam – you can only point to factors that suggest overtrading.

    The main factors are that the company has been expanding rapidly, they have a cash flow problem and a shortage of working capital.

    I am sorry but I have no idea whose book you are referring to!
    (Also, working capital management is Paper F9, not F5)

    Sorry for misunderstanding.I use the translated version of ACCA papers and maybe there are some inconsistence.
    I will try to check and write you the correct reference.

    i am looking at the solution of that example there are the main factors of overtrading but is concluded that overtrading is absent.
    Thanks

    I would love to help you, but you still do not say which book you are looking at. Is it BPP or Kaplan or who??

    However I do not have any 2.4 books any more so it doesn’t matter which.

    I don’t know which paper you are sitting this time, working capital management is examinable now in Paper F9 (not Paper F5).
