The total balance <strong>of</strong> transactions between <strong>the</strong> company and each <strong>of</strong> its bankers said <strong>the</strong> gain (or loss) that latter<br />

derive. This is <strong>the</strong> starting point for <strong>the</strong> negotiation <strong>of</strong> Bank conditions.<br />

SECTION 2: CASH FLOW FORECASTING<br />

The forecast <strong>of</strong> revenue and expenditure is to determine variations in <strong>the</strong> bank balance and <strong>the</strong>refore needs or<br />

potential financial surpluses in <strong>the</strong> very short term. This forecast allows to draw a "<strong>cash</strong> line" in value date thus<br />

defining actions to be taken on <strong>the</strong> basis <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> objective "zero-<strong>cash</strong>. The maintenance <strong>of</strong> a balance person in different<br />

banks is <strong>the</strong> way to minimize financial costs while ensuring <strong>the</strong> solvency <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> firm.<br />

In practice this policy develops in two stages:<br />

<br />

<br />

Is, on <strong>the</strong> one hand, <strong>the</strong> development and implementation <strong>of</strong> a system <strong>of</strong> analysis <strong>of</strong> <strong>cash</strong> receipts and<br />

disbursements dated value. The Treasurer thus determine <strong>the</strong> importance and duration <strong>of</strong> possible financial<br />

needs. It ensures, in addition, <strong>the</strong> solvency <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> firm;<br />

It is, on <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand, action on regulation and recovery procedures to reduce <strong>the</strong> needs or surplus funding<br />

in <strong>the</strong> short term. The Treasurer 'smooth <strong>cash</strong> <strong>flow</strong> curve", and improves by <strong>the</strong> fact even <strong>the</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>itability <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> company.<br />

I. ANALYSIS OF CASH FLOW.<br />

The company must take a 'daily tracking card' by Bank. A daily tracking sheet is an array <strong>of</strong> situation in value which<br />

includes <strong>the</strong> expected revenue and expenditure broken down by mode <strong>of</strong> regulation for <strong>the</strong> days to come. Familiar<br />

with <strong>the</strong> movement <strong>of</strong> funds, <strong>the</strong> Treasurer is able to take financing decisions or optimal investment, but also to<br />

consider procedural reforms handing thus questioned <strong>the</strong> spontaneous conduct <strong>of</strong> operations.<br />

Implement such a monitoring system, to solve three problems:<br />

Systematically capture information,<br />

know <strong>the</strong> structure <strong>of</strong> <strong>cash</strong> receipts and disbursements,<br />

Reduce <strong>the</strong> risks that weigh in <strong>the</strong> short term on <strong>the</strong> inputs and outputs <strong>of</strong> funds.<br />

A – Treasury-Data collection system<br />

The quality <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> predictions depends to a large extent by <strong>the</strong> quality <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> input information. To receive revenue<br />

and costs in <strong>the</strong> coming days will result in vast majority <strong>of</strong> previous decisions. These decisions are generally known<br />

by some in <strong>the</strong> company: <strong>the</strong> Treasurer may <strong>the</strong>refore know <strong>the</strong>m; <strong>the</strong> problem is to inform. Officials <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> company<br />

whose actions or decisions directly translates into disbursements or <strong>of</strong> receipts can provide a relatively certain<br />

information. The Treasurer must <strong>the</strong>refore require <strong>the</strong>ir production estimates <strong>of</strong> <strong>cash</strong> <strong>flow</strong>s, or, put in <strong>the</strong> main<br />

services a "corresponding - treasurer" responsible for collecting <strong>the</strong> information<br />

In addition to traditional accounting will be developed some specific to <strong>the</strong> <strong>cash</strong> management documents.<br />

Movements <strong>of</strong> funds may give rise to a presentation based on <strong>the</strong>ir behavior (fixed or variable), <strong>the</strong>ir periodicity, or<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir importance. They can also be summarized by mode <strong>of</strong> regulation, by period <strong>of</strong> regulation or place <strong>of</strong> payment.<br />

Similarly, it will be much more effective to post in value date. The system can only work if standards have been<br />

established to characterize each stream according to <strong>the</strong> criteria <strong>of</strong> analysis concerning.<br />

Thus <strong>the</strong> movement <strong>of</strong> <strong>cash</strong> will be divided into four classes:-movements are known to some, including <strong>the</strong><br />

completion date and <strong>the</strong> amount (for example, <strong>the</strong> payment <strong>of</strong> wages generally); -<strong>the</strong> uncertain movements on <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
