Provide an example of how a company manages cash flow.
It’s always good to realize that without cash in your company, your business will fail to run
effectively as required. This is because employees stops performing their duties and suppliers
also halts to supply your products if there is no capital to run your business. Trust me that you
can run out of cash while your business is very profitable.
In my current company (software processing company), have learnt a lot how cash generation
is very much important in running a business. Cash generation helps in telling or answering the
question of where the money went. Therefore cash generation informs you where you spent
your cash and you are clearly aware of what you did with your money. Cash generation helps
the members concentrate on creating excess money. Through cash generation you will
