...Cash Management Modeling, Excel Assignment 3 Cash Management Modeling, Excel Assignment 3 Cash flow forecasts are a powerful management tool to help identify future deficits or surpluses in liquidity. The cash flow forecast shows the total expected outflows and inflows during a given period; i.e. a year. It is vitally important that this budget is prepared so the organization is aware of shortages and surpluses during the year. These can help the business spot cash problems and cash opportunities. A known cash shortage can be planned for and resolved proactively verses reactively. It would be wrong to assume that if the organization is in surplus that it does not have a problem. Idle cash means the opportunity to earn interest or profitable investment is lost (Investopedia, 2012).

...Cash management is a need common to both large and small businesses alike. In its simplest terms, cash management is the assurance that today's receivables plus today's account balances exceed today's payables. Failure to practice this business management process guarantees bankruptcy. Every large organization has a cash management group, sometimes called the treasury. This group's function includes management of such items as investments and borrowing in addition to the organization's daily cash flow. In small to medium businesses (SMBs), usually the chief financial officer (CFO), president, or owner performs the task of cash management. Regardless of a company's size, the important thing is that cash management is practiced on a regular basis—at least weekly—and with sufficient attention to details. In difficult times, when liquidity is "tight" (at a minimum), it should be performed daily. Crucial to organizations' successful cash management are the deals they make with their financial institutions for short-term placements and for borrowing funds. Unlike in other countries, in the United States, a bank account that is credited with deposits does not begin to earn deposit interest until three business days have passed. Furthermore, an American business account specifically may not be overdrawn, which necessitates cash management to be the most important activity of a business's financial management. For all companies—and in particular, public traded companies—major...

Section 2: Article Citation Serena, N. and Tuna, C. (August 31, 2009). Big Firms are Quick to Collect, Slow to Pay. Wall Street Journal (page 1). Section 3: Main Issue of Article This article was very important and was exposed to many readers because it made the front page of the Wall Street Journal in 2009. The authors wanted to inform their readers of a cash management development that a number of credit professionals had recognized a long time ago but wanted to expose the issue to more financial professionals and the multitudes that read the Wall Street Journal. Big companies have sped up efforts in collecting money and at the same time have slowed down their payments to suppliers, vendors and money owed back to customers. Big firms are quick to collect and they are slow to pay (Serena). This concept must be understood as these big companies are fine tuning and sneakily finding ways to squeeze as much cash flow as possible out of operations and small businesses in which they use. An important statistic that came out of the article exposes the fact that companies with annual revenue in excess of more than $5 billion are collecting bills on the average of 41 days in 2009 down from 42 days in 2008.

...Cash Management Angelia Wilkerson Argosy University Cash Management Norma’s is in a position to restructure the company’s cash flow. If the new system works, it will make more cash available for possible investments. Electronic advances in technology, such as ACH payments, allows for a reduction in float time. Mail float refers to the time delay of collections due to the amount of time payments spend in the mailing process and clearing float is the time it takes for payment checks to clear through the banking system.

Norma has determined that through the establishment of local collection centers around the country, she can speed up the collection of payments by two and one-half days.
