Cash Flow Considerations Net Income by Month
Cash Flow Considerations Cash flow is controlled through deferral of paying certain expenditures until December (notably the Diocesan commitment and the funding of outreach) To meet cash requirements in late summer and early fall, for many years the Vestry has authorized a resolution to borrow from the Memorial Fund with the stipulation that those funds be repaid by the end of the year. The corpus of the Memorial Fund, by restriction, can be borrowed against “when it is necessary to cover emergency operating fund shortages.”
