∆cash = ∆liabilities + ∆equity -∆noncash assets
Cash Flow Cycle There is a continuing business cycle of buying and selling, and paying for purchases and being paid for sales. The cash cycle starts with the payment for raw materials and ends with the receipt of payments from customers.
Measuring cash cycle time • Sampling • Ratio Measurement
Sampling
• Make Profiles of Customers/Supplier. • Calculate Average of each group.
Ratio Measurement Raw material stock turnover + Production Cycle + Finished goods turnover = Stock turnover + Debtor days - Average time to pay suppliers = Cash Cycle
Just in Time • Just in time production is driven by demand, and items are manufactured only when they are needed. • Just in time purchasing is the matching of purchases as closely as possibly with usage, so that stocks of raw materials and components are reduced to almost zero.
Cash Flow Time Line • The time line is a horizontal line divided into equal periods such as days, months, or years. Each cash flow, such as a payment or receipt, is plotted along this line at the beginning or end of the period in which it occurs.
Working Capital Stocks +Debtors -Creditors =working capital
Liquidity • The degree to which an asset or security can be bought or sold in the market without affecting the asset's price. • The ability to convert an asset to cash quickly. Also known as "marketability".
Measurement of Liquidity • Current Ratio • Quick Ratio • Cash Ratio
Cash Management Audit • Cash management audit is simply a term for a thorough and systematic investigation of the systems and controls for cash management. The purpose of an audit should be to consider whether the cash management system is efficient and whether it is suitable for current conditions.
