FUNCTIONS OF CASH MANAGEMENT
RECEIVABLES MANAGEMENT
Account receivables refer to the outstanding invoices or money which is yet to be paid
by your customers. Until it is paid, such invoices or money is accounted as accounts
receivables. Also known as bills receivables. You need cash all the time to keep your
business running smoothly and ensuring the accounts receivables are paid on time is
essential to manage cash flow efficiently.
And as the term suggests, management of your accounts receivable is called
receivable management. Basically, the entire process of defining the credit policy,
setting payment terms, sending payment follow ups and timely collection of the due
payments can be defined as receivables management. Management of Receivables is
also known as:
Payment Collection
Collection Management
Accounts Receivables
INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
Inventory management helps companies identify which and how much stock to order at what
time. It tracks inventory from purchase to the sale of goods. The practice identifies and
responds to trends to ensure there’s always enough stock to fulfill customer orders and
proper warning of a shortage.
Once sold, inventory becomes revenue. Before it sells, inventory (although reported as an
asset on the balance sheet) ties up cash. Therefore, too much stock costs money and reduces
cash flow.
One measurement of good inventory management is inventory turnover. An accounting
measurement, inventory turnover reflects how often stock is sold in a period. A business does
not want more stock than sales. Poor inventory turnover can lead to deadstock, or unsold
stock.
PAYABLE MANAGEMENT
Payables management is the handling of a company’s unpaid debts to third-party vendors for
purchases made on credit. Account payables management involves tasks such as seeking
trade credit lines, acquiring favorable terms of purchase, and managing the timing and flow of
purchase.
This is all done to efficiently control a company’s working capital.
The short-term liabilities section of the balance sheet is where the accounts payable should
lie. It mostly consists of the short-term financing of things like accrued expenses, inventory
purchases, and other valuable short-term operations.
SHORT-TERM INVESTMENT
Short-term investments, also known as marketable securities or temporary investments, are
financial investments that can easily be converted to cash, typically within five years. Many
short-term investments are sold or converted to cash after a period of only three-12 months.
Some common examples of short-term investments include CDs, money market accounts,
high-yield savings accounts, government bonds, and Treasury bills. Usually, these investments
are high-quality and highly liquid assets or investment vehicles.
Short-term investments may also refer specifically to financial assets—of a similar kind, but
with a few additional requirements—that are owned by a company. Recorded in a separate
account, and listed in the current assets section of the corporate balance sheet, short-term
investments in this context are investments that a company has made that are expected to be
converted into cash within one year.
FORECAST AND PLANNING
Planning and forecasting is the managerial process of mapping out corporate actions based on
past and present data trends. Planning encompasses everything from high level corporate
plans to strategic plans, to operational, HR, expense, capacity, sales and operational, balance
sheet, profitability, capital, cash flow planning and more. Some may be long term, like
strategic planning, while others are short term, like operational planning. To create a plan is to
detail KPIs and events that should lead up to reaching a specific objective. Since forecasts are
predictions of future events, plans often use forecasts in order to inform the decision making
process.
TOOLS FOR CASH CONTROL
CASH BUDGET- The cash budget is a budget prepared to estimate the cash inflows and outflows during
a specific period of time in future
CASH OUTFLOWS- The Cash Flow Statement is a financial statement that summarizes the cash inflows
and outflows through three major activities (operating, investing and financing).
RATIO ANALYSIS- Liquidity ratios like current ratio, quick ratio and cash ratio measures the financial
strength of company in term cash and marketable securities available in the company to pay off short
term obligations.
