  1. “FAIL TO PLAN, PLAN TO FAIL” 7 CASH FLOW MANAGEMENT MISTAKES

  2. 7 Cash Flow MANAGEMENT MISTAKES Cash Flow is critical to the survival and success of any business, club or charity. The latest statistics back this fact up; over 70% of UK SMEs experienced late payments in the last 12 months. 43% cited this as a reason for lost profits, and many businesses paid the ultimate price, with 26,000 dissolved in June 2013 alone - Cash Flow was the most common reason given. But even armed with this information, it remains a challenge for the right person to get buy-in from other departments and install the processes that will ensure Cash Flow is being managed efficiently. AccessWallethas identified 7 key areas where good Cash Flow managementis likely to be lacking. Recognise the warning signs and tackles these issues robustly to increase your Cash Flow and avoid becoming a casualty.

  3. 7 Cash Flow MANAGEMENT MISTAKES WHERE’S THE PLAN? It sounds obvious, but often the biggest flaw in a company’s Cash Flow Management is not to have a plan. A successful Cash Flow Management plan will include a Cash Flow statement, define targeted inflows and outflows, and help you make month-by-month projections.

  4. 7 Cash Flow MANAGEMENT MISTAKES NO LIMITS Another common Cash Flow error made by businesses is not defining various credit and debit limits. For example, it is usually worthwhile setting a limit on your monthly outflow. BLURRED VISION Any business will struggle without visibility of due dates for credits and debits. Although this information won’t always be predictable, it should give you a fairly accurate picture of your Cash Flow. LOST CONTROL A lack of internal controls and processes is the root cause of many Cash Flow issues, from minor mistakes to major fraud. You should take time to carefully define relevant internal controls, and establish processes to protect your business at all levels.

  5. 7 Cash Flow MANAGEMENT MISTAKES SHORT TERM THINKING Cash Flow can be seriously impacted by committing short-term funds to purchases that could be considered ‘long-term’. It usually makes good financial sense to divide funding into ‘short-term’ and ‘long-term’ investments. A LACK OF SECURITY Unfortunately, a lack of security often goes hand-in-hand with unexpected cash losses. This scenario can be avoided by combining improvements to your internal controls with a robust audit of your security, including password upgrades, vetting of your employees and credit checks for customers. STALE REPORTING Proactive, in-depth and informative reporting is integral to the success of many businesses. On the other hand, if your reporting relies on tired or obsolete hardware and software, you may be at a disadvantage! If you are unable to view your Cash Flow figures at anytime, anywhere in the world, then it may be time for an upgrade.
