Sources of Cash
What are the various sources of cash in an organization. Which sources increase the cash available with the enterprise and which sources results in outflow of the cash? Let us explore!
Every successful company has a pool of cash that sustains the day-to-day activities of business.
It grows with receipts from sales and contributions and shrinks with expenditures for inventory, marketing, labor and other expenses.
The uncertainty of cash inflows and outflows creates the challenge of ensuring that sufficient funds are available at all times to support the operating cycle.
Borrowing becomes necessary when cash flow falls short of covering disbursements.
When incoming funds exceed the outflow, cash is used to repay borrowings or purchase short-term investments until the cash is needed to cover future expenses.
Financial officers need timely information to properly control and use their funds throughout the cash flow cycle.
The Basic Cash Management Process provides that timely information.
