Abstract: The survival of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) is so vital to stimulate the healthy business and economics maintenance. Based on the interest of enterprise development and financial performance, together with relationship between measurements of corporate liquidity, this study addresses the issue of examining the relationship between earnings, cash flow and corporate liquidity in Malaysian SMEs. The findings in this study imply that both earning and cash flow can be used to provide corporate liquidity information in small and medium businesses in Malaysia according to dynamic measurement of corporate liquidity. Anyhow, the static measures represented by the current ratio and quick ratio did not show any significant relationship with corporate liquidity. This study will pave the way to enhance the governance in the management of corporate liquidity SME.
