This free snapshot doesn't read filing or proxy text, so the auditor-quality and governance checks that can lower a grade were not evaluated (red flags, auditor quality, say on pay, board independence, going concern, valuation). Those checks only ever lower a grade, so the full analysis can land below the grade above but never above it — treat it as the most favourable reading, not the settled one.
Omnicom Group Inc. earns a D (Weak — demands caution) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 1.0, placing it in the Distress zone. 3 forensic signals were flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by accruals ratio (% of noa).
What the filings flag
+70.1%
FY2024→FY2025
Accruals ratio (% of NOA).Net operating assets grew +70.1% relative to their own average in FY2025 — scaled by NOA itself, not by total assets, which is what the Forensic Screens card's own accrual row divides by. Accruals are building sharply — a large slice of profit sits in operating assets, not cash. An accrual is a claim that still has to be collected or written down, so the gap resolves in a later period whichever way it goes. The build is led by receivables up +56% against revenue +10%. A cash-flow measure on the same base disagrees: reported earnings ran behind operating cash by 19% of net operating assets, against an accruals ratio of 70.1%. The two are computed differently: the accruals ratio is the change in net operating assets over average net operating assets, while the cash-flow figure is net income less operating cash flow over that same average. Read them as two results, not one.
1.2%
FY2025
Return on invested capital.Return on invested capital is 1.2% in the latest fiscal year and slipping across FY2023–FY2025 from 13%. The capital base behind it grew +111% across FY2023–FY2025, from $11.8B to $24.9B, while the return fell 12.0 points, so the dollars added over that window earned less than the 13% the older base was already earning.
+0.9%/yr
FY2023–FY2025
Share count.Diluted share count changed +2% over the last 2 years to FY2025 (+0.9%/yr). Roughly flat — buybacks ($708M) are about offsetting stock comp ($101M), not shrinking the count. Per-share value isn't being meaningfully helped or hurt by the count.
