MEANING OF CASH FLOW MANAGEMENT
A cash flow MANAGEMENT is a MANAGEMENT depicting change in cash
position from one period to another. For example, if cash balance of a business is shown by
its balance sheet on 31st December 1978 at rs 20, 000 while the cash balance as its balance
sheet on 31st December 1979is Rs 30,000 there has been an inflow of cash rs 10,000 in the
year 1979 as compared to the year 1978. The cash MANAGEMENT explains the reasons for
such inflows or out flows cash, as the case might be. It also helps management in making
plans for the immediate future. A projected sash flow MANAGEMENT of a cash budget will
help the management in ascertaining how much cash will be available to meet obligations to
trade creditors, to pay bank loans and to pay dividend to the shareholders. A proper planning
of cash resources will enable the management to have cash available whenever needed and
put it to some profitable or productive use in case there is surplus cash available.

6. LIMITATIONS
Cash flow analysis is a useful tool of financial analysis. However, it has been own
limitations. These limitations are as under:
Cash flow MANAGEMENT cannot be equated with the income MANAGEMENT.
An income MANAGEMENT takes into account both cash as well as noncash items
and, therefore, net cash flow does not necessarily mean net income of the business.
The cash balance as disclosed by the cash flow MANAGEMENT may not represent
the real liquid position of the business since it can be easily influenced by postponing
purchases and other payments.
Cash flow MANAGEMENT cannot replace the income MANAGEMENT or the
funds flow MANAGEMENT. Each of them has a separate function to perform.
In spite of these limitations, it can be said that cash flow MANAGEMENT is a useful
supplementary instrument. It discloses the volume as well as the speed at which the cash
flows in the different segments of the business this helps the management in knowing the
amount of capital tied up in a particular segment of the business. The technique of cash flow
analysis, when used in conjunction with ratio analysis, serves as a barometer in measuring the
profitability and financial position of the business.
