Abstract

The CFO to PAT ratio is a crucial financial metric that measures the relationship between a firm's operating cash flow (CFO) and net profit after tax (PAT). This research paper analyzes data from diverse companies across various industries, focusing on the relationship between the CFO to PAT ratio and key financial performance indicators. The study uncovers valuable insights into how the CFO to PAT ratio impacts a firm's financial stability and long-term viability. Variations in industry, firm size, and economic conditions may influence the ratio's significance. The findings can guide stakeholders in making informed investment decisions, evaluating financial performance, and assessing the sustainability of companies in their portfolios. The research contributes to existing knowledge on financial ratios and their relevance to corporate performance, enhancing the understanding of cash flow generation and reported profits, shedding light on potential discrepancies and red flags that might signal financial distress. Overall, the CFO to PAT ratio is a critical tool for assessing a firm's financial robustness and sustainability.
