Ocampo: Cash Management

Tuesday, July 30, 2013

CASH is the beginning and end of the Business Cycle. Assets of a business came from cash (excluding donated assets); and these assets are financial items waiting to be expensed to earn a revenue and profit. For example, cash is converted as a manufacturing machinery to increase production and sales volume and grow profits.

As such, cash, being one of the most valuable resources of business entities, including Local Government Units (LGUs), has to be managed and optimized for a cost- efficient and cost-effective business operation so that more revenues will be generated and more profits earned. This realm in business is called “Cash Management”.

The Cash Management Cycle begins with the receipt of cash which is then secured in the business vault until it is deposited in the bank and disbursed to fund the business’s operation or distributed as profits to business owners.

Cash is received from the following sources:

* Investments of stockholders

* Sale of the business’ products

* Services rendered

* Sale of fixed assets that are no longer used in operations

* Sale of inventories, other than finished goods inventory, that are no longer used in operations

* Interest and dividend income received from investing activities of the business

* Rental and other passive income

* Donations and grants

Cash coming from various sources is received by the business through its employees; while some are directly credited in the business’ bank accounts. Cash is received either from a customer, client, buyer, lessee or donor by the business’ collector or salesman that is then remitted to the business cashier for safekeeping until it is deposited in the bank. This process is part of the “Sales Settlement and Cash Deposit System”. Cash handling has a lot of risks involved. Hence, policies, procedures or processes have to be in place to ensure that cash is safeguarded and ultimately deposited in the bank.

In a Family set-up, cash is also the beginning and end of a Family’s Financial Cycle. Family assets come from cash with some assets coming from relatives and friends as gifts. Assets are financial items waiting to be expensed to earn a revenue and profit; but in a family set-up, cash is converted to assets mostly for the purpose of family enjoyment and personal use, and a small amount, if any, is used to grow the family coffer.

For example, cash is often used to buy the best TV brand, the latest mobile phone and other electronic gadgets that are usually for personal use and become outdated in a few years. The most significant use of the family cash is the purchase or construction of a family house especially in a high-end subdivision. A family house is not an investment as it does not earn; rather, it is a liability because it incurs expenses.

The sources of cash by families not engaged in a business usually come from the following:

Salary as a white-collar or blue-collar worker of a registered business

Income, salary, commission and/or service fee earned in an underground economy or sometimes called informal or unreported economy, such as fee or salary received by skilled and unskilled workers and sale of products or items by street vendors that are not reported to the BIR.

Cash handling risks are not significant as cash is directly received by the family. The evidence of cash earned is the Pay slip. A small amount of cash, if any, is left and deposited in the bank because the cash received is spent immediately for family needs (and wants). The problem in most Family’s Financial System especially those in the lower middle and lower class may be due to insufficient revenue and improper spending. The best practice of a business of optimizing the use of cash to grow revenues is worth adopting.
