 A cash flow forecast is a financial document that shows the expected movement of cash into and out of a business in a particular time period

 Cash flow forecasts are based on 3 main concepts:  Cash inflows  Cash outflows  Net cash flow

 Money coming in  Comes from sales revenue (customers purchasing goods), payments from debtors, loans, interest earned from bank, sales of assets, rent earned from property owned  Referred to as receipts

 Money going out  Cash leaves a business when the business needs to pay bills  A business needs to itemise their expenses: labour, purchasing stock, rent, texes, advertising, interest, etc  Referred to as payments, expenses, outgoings

 The difference between the inflows and the outflows, in a particular period of time  A firm wants the net cash flow to be positive, however they may be able to service temporarily if they experience negative cash flow  Long term, inflows will need to be greater than outflows

 If a business needs external finance, a bank or lender will want to see a cash flow forecast to help them decide whether or not to lend $$  Help managers anticipate and identify times when they will be cash poor. They can then work out strategies to deal with this (e.g. arrange a bank overdraft to get thru the period when outflows are expected to be more than inflows)  Assists with a business’s planning process.

 Opening balance  The amount of cash a business has at the beginning of the trading period. The opening balance for one month will be the same as the closing balance in the previous month.  Closing balance  The amount of cash a business has at the end of the trading period.  Closing balance = opening balance plus net cash flow
