Who is the Working Capital (Management accounting) poster for?

Every day of inventory or receivables is cash you have lent to someone else. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Working Capital (Management accounting) belongs on the wall where that business work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
