Cash Flow Forecasting

Gbogbo ọrọ náà

A business can be profitable on paper yet still run out of cash to pay wages next Friday. Cash flow forecasting is the tool that stops this from happening. It maps out when money is expected to arrive and when it needs to leave, month by month, so owners and managers can spot shortfalls before they become crises.

In this lesson you will learn how to construct and interpret a cash flow forecast, calculate net cash flow and closing balances, identify the causes of cash flow problems, and evaluate the strategies a business can use to keep the cash flowing.

Ebumnobi

  1. Understand the importance of cash to a business: to pay suppliers, overheads and employees, to prevent business failure (insolvency), the difference between cash and profit
  2. Calculate and interpret cash-flow forecasts: cash inflows, cash outflows, net cash flow, opening and closing balances

Akọmọ Ojú-ẹkọ

Imagine a bakery that sells 500 loaves a day on credit to local restaurants. The restaurants pay 30 days later, but the flour supplier wants payment every week. Even though the bakery is making a healthy profit, it could run out of cash before the first restaurant payment arrives. This is why businesses prepare cash flow forecasts: to see the timing of money moving in and out, not just the totals.
