DEFENSIVE INTERVAL RATIO
An efficiency ratio that measures how many days a company can operate without having to access non-current (long-term) assets. The DIR is thought by many people to be a better liquidity measure than the quick and current ratios. Because these ratios compare assets to liabilities rather than comparing assets to expenses, the DIR and current/quick ratios would give quite different results if the company had a lot of expenses, but no debt.
