The Dilemma
• We Need It To……?
• But Forecasting Is Essentially…...?
• Therefore What Is The Purpose?
![Page 4: Copyright anbirts1 CASH FLOW FORECASTING. copyright anbirts2 AGENDA The Dilemma The Purpose The Problem The Methods](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5515df59550346d46f8b4c45/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Purpose
• If We Could Get It Right– Liquidity Management:
Having Funds Available To Meet All Known and Unknown Commitment
– Minimise Cost of Funds
– Maximise Interest Earnings
– Budgeting and Control
– Currency Risk Management
– Working Capital Management

The Problem
• Degree Of Accuracy
• Time Period– Short
– Medium– Long
![Page 6: Copyright anbirts1 CASH FLOW FORECASTING. copyright anbirts2 AGENDA The Dilemma The Purpose The Problem The Methods](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5515df59550346d46f8b4c45/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Process
• What steps need to be taken to produce a cash flow forecast?
• Identify inflows and outflows
- split into components, so for payments, wages, suppliers, taxes
- for receipts, trade receipts, interest earned

copyright anbirts 7
Process
• Identify the source of the information - Last years information as a guide - Sales, actual and projected, sales dept - Purchases, actual and projected, purchasing - Accounts payable and receivable data - Capital investment plansSources should be reliable and consistent and
available when needed.

Process• Apply degrees of certainty
• So accounts receivable data should be adjusted by historic behaviour patterns
• Some flows are certain e.g. tax payments, interest receipts, FX settlement
• Others less so e.g. timing of international collections

copyright anbirts 9
Process
• Select the appropriate method for the forecast
- Time period
- Purpose
- How handled e.g. in treasury system or on spreadsheets
![Page 10: Copyright anbirts1 CASH FLOW FORECASTING. copyright anbirts2 AGENDA The Dilemma The Purpose The Problem The Methods](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5515df59550346d46f8b4c45/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
copyright anbirts 10
Process
• Review the data, does it make sense?
- Value dating issues
- Omissions of important items or double counting
- Opening balances, precautionary balances
![Page 11: Copyright anbirts1 CASH FLOW FORECASTING. copyright anbirts2 AGENDA The Dilemma The Purpose The Problem The Methods](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5515df59550346d46f8b4c45/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
copyright anbirts 11
Process
• How to overcome the challenges?
- Centralised vs decentralised groups- Motivation- Autonomy
Carrot and stick- Name and shame- Publish variances- Allocate costs

MethodsDistribution Model
• Class Exercise:A Company issues Euro 1,000,000 checks on Thursday August 16th.
What can the company expect to clear over the next week?
Historically, past distributions have followed this pattern:
Business days % Of value
after cheque expected to Day of
issued clear week effect % effect
1 13 Monday - 2
2 38 Tuesday 0
3 28 Wednesday +2
4 13 Thursday +1

Exponential Smoothing• Allows More Weight To either Historical or Recent Observations
• Recognises Forecast Errors and Adjusts For Them
Next Period = Current + Factor (Current - Current)
Forecast Forecast Actual Forecast
OR
Next Period = Current + Factor (Current Error)
Factor= Alpha, the smoothing constant. Ranges from 1.0-0
Value of 1 places most weight on current actual.
Value closer to 0 places weight on previous forecast
p will always be given
