From the above balance sheet,

Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities

Non Cross Transations

Where both the ledger accounts affected by an accounting transaction belong to the same area of the balance sheet i.e. either current or non-current, then the transaction would be a non cross transaction.

Non Cross transaction is an identification relevant to the topic funds flow analysis. Such transactions would not result in a change in fund or working capital.
