No full textPurpose: This study aimed to determine the effect of customer default on the Cash Conversion Cycle and Net Working Capital in construction companies.
Method: This study uses secondary data from companies’ financial reports to calculate the Cash Conversion Cycle, Net Working Capital, and Spearman's rho Correlation Test to determine the relationship between the two variables.
Results: The results show that SOE customer default affects the condition of the Cash Conversion Cycle, especially in 2023, where the Cash Conversion Cycle value in Q123 (85 days) and Q223 (64 days), but the worst Cash Conversion Cycle results during the observation period are in Q122 (134 days).
