Cash Flow Analysis
The ability to self-finance current operations is the result of sound planning of the company’s cash inflows and obligations, as well as regular monitoring of these indicators. Cash flow analysis allows you to track trends across three types of activities:
- operational;
- investment;
- financial.
Current-period metrics are compared with targets and the results from the same period in the previous month, quarter, or year. An in-depth analysis helps identify the causes of deviations from targets and take steps to address them. Depending on the objectives of the analysis, reports can be generated for a week, a month, a quarter, a year, or any other custom period.
Cash flow analysis helps prevent situations where a company is forced to raise short-term capital in the form of expensive loans to meet its obligations, or is forced to shut down altogether due to a prolonged period of insolvency. Cash flow analysis goes hand in hand with planning.
How BI Helps Manage Cash Flow More Effectively
Traditionally, the cash flow statement was prepared using manual data processing in Excel. This involved processing information from multiple sources: reviewing cash flow history, analyzing planned and actual operating expenses, evaluating the capital expenditure plan, and analyzing accounts receivable and accounts payable balances. The large volume of work was the main challenge in preparing the report.
Analyzing a company’s cash flows in BI applications eliminates this drawback. Data is automatically loaded into the system, sorted, and transformed into an easy-to-understand format. Business analytics software helps companies automate cash flow analysis and provides the tools needed to consolidate information. The result of using business analytics platforms is simplified cash flow planning and forecasting, which enables more confident and rapid management decision-making.
By using BI as a tool for analyzing an organization’s cash flows, financial managers can identify cash shortages or surpluses well in advance. This enables the organization to respond quickly to growth opportunities or cut costs when necessary. Effective cash flow management will allow a company to weather even the most challenging crises with ease.
What resources are used in business analytics to analyze cash flow?
BI employs a comprehensive approach consisting of direct and indirect methods of cash flow analysis. The first method uses revenue as the basis for analysis. In this method, operating results are grouped by type of activity (operating, investing, and financing). The indirect method of cash flow analysis allows for establishing a relationship between net income and changes in cash balances. This method requires the application of adjustment factors.
Cash Flow Ratios
Comparative LFL analysis of key cash flow ratios. The page listing these key indicators provides a general overview of cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities.
Overview Cash Flow
Analysis of changes in cash flow indicators by individual line items through comparison with budgeted figures and data from previous periods. This allows for an examination of the magnitude of deviations and the identification of their causes.
Cash Flow Forecast
It allows you to anticipate a cash shortfall in meeting your obligations during the forecast period, taking into account planned receipts and payments. Cash flow analysis enables you to foresee such a situation in advance and negotiate payment deferrals, debt restructuring, or take steps to prepay certain obligations.
Cash position as of
It shows the cash assets held in accounts and on hand as of a specific date. For small businesses, this is a simple task, but for large companies with dozens of accounts, determining the amount of available funds can be a significant challenge.
Transactions Cash Flow
