Abstract

This paper’s core aim is to analyses information about a

company's gross receipts and gross payments for a

specified period of time. The gross receipts and gross

payments will be reported in the cash flow statement

according to one of the following classifications:

operating activities, investing activities, and

financing activities. The net change from these three

classifications should equal the change in a

company's cash and cash equivalents during the reporting

period.

Cash flow is of vital importance to the health of a

business. One saying is:” revenue is vanity, cash flow is sanity, but

cash is king”. What this means is that whilst it may look

better to have large inflows of revenue from sales, the

most important focus for a business is cash flow.

Many businesses may continue to trade in the short- to

medium-term even if they are making a loss. This is

possible if they can, for example, delay paying

creditors and/or have enough money to pay variable

2

costs. However, no business can survive long without

enough cash to meet its immediate needs.

Understanding the basic concepts of cash flow will help

you plan for the unforeseen eventualities that nearly

every business faces.

General Introduction

CHAPTER - I1. GENERAL INTRODUCTION

Cash is the important current asset for the

operations of the business. Cash is the basic input

needed to keep the business running on a continuous

basis; it is also the ultimate output expected to be

realized by selling the service or product manufactured

by the firm. The firm should keep sufficient cash,

neither more nor less.

Cash shortage will disrupt the firm’s manufacturing

operations while excessive cash will simply remain idle,

without contributing anything towards the firm’s

profitability. Thus, a major function of the financial

manager is to maintain a sound cash position.

8

Cash is the money which a firm can disburse

immediately without any restriction. The term cash

includes coins, currency and cheques held by the firm,

and balances in its bank accounts. Sometimes near-cash

items, such as marketable securities, are also included

in cash.

"The concept of cash management is not new and it

has acquired a greater significance in the modern world

of business due to change that took place in the conduct

of business and ever increasing difficulties and the

cost of borrowing." Apart from the fact that it is the

most liquid current assets, cash is the common

9

denominator to which all current assets can be reduced

because the other current assets i.e. receivables and

inventory get eventually converted into cash. This

underlines the significance of cash management.

1.1. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

• To find out the cash position of the concern

through ratio analysis.

10

• To analyze the cash management of the company.

• To study the growth of standard in terms of fund

flow statement and cash flow statement.

• To make suggestion and recommendation to improve

the cash position of standard.

1.2. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Cash management techniques are adopted by

organizations in order to ensure effective

investment of cash and to achieve profitability

both in the short run and long run.

But despite the adoption of these cash management

techniques, still most present fabric industry run

bankrupt to the extent that some are even closed

due to poor cash management.

1.3. PURPOSE OF THE STUDY

The purpose of the study was to establish the

relationship between cash management and profitability

of the concern.

11

1.4. SCOPE OF THE STUDY

decision and it indicates the cash requirement needed

for plant or equipment expansion programmers. To find

strategies for efficient management of cash. It helps to

arrange needed funds on the most favorable terms. It

helps to meet routine cash requirement to finance the

transaction. It reveals the liquidity position of the

firm by highlighting the various sources of cash and its

uses.

2. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

2.1 RESEARCH

13

Research is a process in which the researchers wish

to find out the end result for a given problem and thus

the solution helps in future course of action. The

research has been defined as “A careful investigation or

enquiry especially through search for new facts in

branch of knowledge”.

Martyn Shuttleworth - "In the broadest sense of the

word, the definition of research includes any gathering

of data, information and facts for the advancement of

knowledge.

2.2 RESEARCH DESIGN

The research design used in this project is

Analytical in nature the procedure using, which

researcher has to use facts or information already

available, and analyze these to make a critical

evaluation of the performance.

14

2.3 DATA COLLECTION

Data collection is the process of gathering

and measuring information on variables of interest, in

an established systematic fashion that enables one to

answer stated research questions hypotheses, and

evaluate outcomes. The data collection component of

research is common to all fields of study

including physical and social sciences, humanities,

business, etc.

Primary data is the data collected by the researcher themselves, i.e.

15

1. interview2. observation3. action research4. case studies5. life histories6. questionnaires7. ethnographic research8. longitudinal studies

Secondary sources are data that already exists

1. Previous research2. Official statistics3. Mass media products4. Diaries5. Letters6. Government reports7. Web information8. Historical data and information

2.4 TOOLS USED IN THE ANALYSIS

CHAPTER - II1. REVIEW OF LITERATURE

This chapter reviews the different existing literature

of different scholars, the definition of cash

management, the appropriate cash management techniques,

the indications of cash management, profitability and

the relationship between cash management and

profitability

1.1 BAUMOL’S MODEL

The Baumol’s model of cash management provides a formal

approach for determining a firm’s optimum cash balance

under certainty. It considers cash management similar

to an inventory management problem. As such, the firm

19

attempts to minimize the sum of the cost of holding cash

(inventory of cash) and the cost of converting

marketable securities to cash.

The baumol’s model makes the following assumptions:

The firm is able to forecast its cash needs with

certainty.

The firm’s cash payments occur uniformly over a

period of time.

The opportunity cost of holding cash is known and

it does not change over time.

The firm will incur the firm sells securities and

starts with a converts securities to cash.

20

Baumol’s model for cash balance

Cost trade-off: Baumol’s model

21

1.2 THE MILLER-ORR MODEL

The limitation of the Baumol model is that it does not

allow the cash flows to fluctuate. Firms in practice do

not use their cash balance uniformly nor are they able

to predict do not use their cash inflows and outflows.

The Miller-Orr model overcomes this shortcoming and

allows for daily cash flow variation. It assumes that

net cash flows are normally distributed with a zero

value of mean and a standard deviation. The MO model

provides for two control limits-the upper control limit

and the lower control limit as well as a return point.

If the firm’s cash flows fluctuate randomly and hit the

upper limit, then it buys sufficient marketable

securities to come back to a normal level of cash

balance (the return point). Similarly, when the firm’s

cash flows wander and hit the lower limit, it sells

sufficient marketable securities to bring the cash

balance back to the normal level (the return point)

22

1.3 The Drive towards Efficiency,

Transparency, Standardization and

Integration

Fragmentation is a key driver of corporate

inefficiency. This has long been the case in the

movement of paper checks and related remittance

documents within the U.S. payments system, and the flow

of goods, trade-related documents and funds within the

broader global supply chain. As corporate treasurers

pursue end-to-end automation for treasury and supply-

chain activities, they understand that to achieve

straight-through processing — and the subsequent

23

optimization of working capital globally — they must

integrate the payment and information components of a

transaction.

Based on this drive for efficiency, three

interrelated trends are shaping North America’s cash

management landscape today. First, corporate treasurers

and their banks are driving the convergence towards

electronic payments to better integrate money and

information flows. Second, there is a parallel

convergence in international trade towards open account,

electronic payment and the automation of information

flows, as treasury pushes to integrate the physical and

financial supply chains. On both fronts, solutions are

emerging to digitize paper wherever it persists. Third,

as companies continue to expand globally — and

information and money flows follow — treasury is focused

on standardizing processes and strengthening internal

controls. The objective is to create transparency across

a range of business activities to manage risk and ensure

24

financial reporting integrity in compliance with

Sarbanes-Oxley.

1.4 CASH MANAGEMENT AND CAPITAL BUDGETING

PRACTICES

Virginia department of transportation Richmond,

Virginia.

Our review has found that Transportation has made

significant progress or completed most of the

recommendations made in our 2008 special report.

Complete implementation of these changes will take at

least four to five years.

Over the last two years, Transportation’s

management has started not only implementing

recommendations, but more importantly begun implementing

a change in the corporate and cultural structure of the

organization. The success of change with Transportation

will depend on whether a true structural change in

organization takes place. The measure of success will

25

require a substantial long-term commitment by management

to not only making the change, but to prevent

backsliding into Transportation’s old approaches.

In some ways, the accomplishments to date are the

easy part of change. The harder part lays ahead in

funding and implementing new systems, continuing to make

the changes to get closer to capital budgeting process,

and overcoming Transportation’s corporate and cultural

structure to improve project management. The success of

this effort is highly dependent on management guidance

and direction, and current management has demonstrated

their dedication towards this effort. If any management

change occurs, it is essential that they have the same

commitment; otherwise, progress may be negatively

impacted.

Transportation is restoring fiscal accountability

by implementing several budgetary and financial changes,

including adopting a debt management policy and model.

Additionally, they are establishing a methodology to

26

identify statewide transportation priorities and

developing project management policies.

Transportation has completed several budgetary and

financial changes, including attempts to make the Six-

Year Improvement Program a realistic management tool and

reduce the projects with a deficit status.

However, to ensure accurate matching on cash

inflows and outflows, Transportation must begin

estimating the cost of projects by fiscal year.

Transportation does not currently have sufficient

controls and processes in place to manage the rate at

which they spend funds.

For major projects, Transportation has begun

assigning a project management team that follows a

project from its inception to its completion. However,

it is still too early in the process to determine if the

policies put into place will provide Transportation with

better project management. However, the actions to date

27

are those considered best practices in both the private

and public for large organizations. Maintenance is still

an area of concern at Transportation. The growing

maintenance requirements and the limited ability to

budget on a needs-based approach increases the risk of

inappropriately applied funding. Once the asset

management system is fully implemented a needs-based

approach will be possible and Transportation will be

able identify and prioritize maintenance projects.

1.5 Ms. KATHERINE M. LANDMANN CONTROLLER

WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY IN ST. LOUIS CAMPUS.

This final report presents the results of our audit

of the cash management procedures used by Washington

University in St. Louis (University) to control the

funds paid by the Payment Management System (PMS) during

the three years ended June 30, 2000.

We found that the University did not have adequate

policies and procedures in place to monitor daily cash

28

balances and to precisely calculate interest earned on

positive daily cash balances. In monitoring the daily

cash balances, the University did not consider (1)

outstanding checks and (2) overhead costs as incurred.

In addition, the University did not use the appropriate

interest rates when calculating the interest remitted to

the Federal government.

We determined that the amount of excess interest

remitted by the University was comparable to the amount

of interest that should have been remitted if

appropriate procedures had been used. We believe that

this occurrence was a coincidence due to off setting

factors in the University’s calculation of the amount to

be remitted.

We are recommending that the University revise its

written policies and procedures to effectively monitor

the daily cash balance and to accurately compute the

Federal remittance. We made four specific

recommendations for improving the University’s cash

29

management procedures. The University concurred with two

and is still evaluating the third. However, they did not

accept our fourth recommendation. The University’s

response is included in its entirety as Appendix A.

1.6 CASH MANAGEMENT BY ENID BEVERLY JONES

  It is a Financial Overview for School

Administrators is a succinct overview of public school

finance, presenting concepts of importance to both site-

based and central-office leaders. A pragmatic blend of

theoretical concepts and factual information provides

readers with an excellent synopsis of public school

finance.

The economics and politics of education are

discussed in the context of human capital and the role

of public education in the United States as an

investment in human capital. Author Enid Jones, who is

an associate professor of school finance at Fayetteville

State University, stresses the importance of investment

in human capital and its necessity for an educated,

productive workforce.

30

The chapter on adequacy and equity provides an

understanding of the two concepts so frequently debated

in school finance. As more states struggle with funding

issues, this subject matter is timely and useful.

Cash Management seems intended for use nationwide

with information on basic school business procedures,

including budgeting and financing of school facilities.

The use of lay terminology and relevant examples make

the book valuable both in graduate school classes on

educational leadership and in the hands of practicing

administrators.
