Cash shortage 1ill disturb the firm2s manufacturing operations 1hile e.cessive

CASH AND RECEIVABLES MANAGEMENT
Introduction

(inance is aptly described as the lifeblood and nerve center of any business. It
is ust as the circulation of blood3 an essential system in the human body to -eep and
alive. (inance is vital input for the smooth functioning of the business. 7very business
enterprise irrespective of its si/e and nature needs finance to carry on its operations and
achieve its target.
8or-ing Capital refers to a firm2s investment in short-term assets vi/3 cash3
short-term securities.
Cash Manag!nt
Cash management is one of the -ey areas of 1or-ing capital management3 apart
from the fact that it is the most li9uid current asset3 cash is the common denominator to
1hich all current assets can be reduced because the other maor li9uid assets3 that is3
receivables and inventory get eventually converted into cash.

0he term :Cash2 1ith reference to cash management is used in t1o senses. In a
narro1 sense3 it is used broadly to cover currency and generally accepted e9uivalents of
cash3 such as che9ues3 drafts and demand deposits in ban-s.
Cash !anagement is concerned 1ith the managing of;
1. Cash flo1s into and out of the firm
2. Cash flo1s 1ithin the firm3 and
3. Cash balance held by the firm at a point of time by financing deficit of
investing surplus cash.
It can be represented by a cash management cycle. 0he surplus cash to be
invested 1hile deficit has to be borro1ed. Cash management see-s to accomplish
this cycle at a minimum cost. &t the same time3 it also see-s to achieve li9uidity
and control.
In order to resolve the uncertainty about cash flo1 prediction and lac- of
synchroni/ation bet1een cash receipts and payments3 the firm should develop
appropriate strategies regarding the follo1ing four facts of cash management.
Cash P"anning

Cash inflo1s and outflo1s should be planned to proect cash surplus or
deficit for each period of the planning period. Cash budget should be planned to
proect cash surplus or deficit.
Managing th Cash F"o#s

0he flo1 of cash should be properly the cash flo1s should be
accelerated 1hile3 as far as possible3 the cash outflo1s should be decelerated.
O$ti!u! Cash L%"
0he firm should decide about the appropriate level of cash balance. 0he cost of
e.cess cash and danger deficiency should be matched to determine the optimum level
of cash balances.
In%sting Sur$"us Cash
0he surplus cash balance should be properly invested to earn profits. 0he firm
should decide about the division of such cash balances bet1een alternative short term
investment opportunities such as ban- deposits3 mar-etable securities or inter
corporate lending.
Th &' E"!nts o( Cash Manag!nt
<ood cash management can have a maor impact of overall 1or-ing capital
management. 0he -ey elements of cash management are;
Cash (orecasting
,alance !anagement
&dministration
Internal Control
Moti% (or ho"ding cash
0he firm2s need to hold cash may be attributed to the follo1ing three motives;
)* Th Transaction Moti%+
0he transaction motive re9uires a firm to hold cash to conduct its business in
the ordinary course. 0he firm needs cash primarily to ma-e payments for purchases3
1ages and salaries and other operating e.penses3 ta.es3 dividend etc.3. 0he need to
hold cash 1ould not arise here 1ere perfect synchroni/ation bet1een cash receipts
and cash payments.
,* Prcautionar' Moti%+
0he precautionary motive is the need to hold cash to meet contingencies in
the future. It provides a cushion or buffer to 1ithstand some une.pected emergencies.
0he precautionary amount of cash depends upon the predictability of cash flo1s.
-* Cash Forcasting+
<ood cash management re9uires regular forecasts. In order for these to be
materially accurate3 they must be based on information provided by those managers
responsible for the amounts and timing of e.penditure. Capital e.penditure and
operating e.penditure must be ta-en into account.
Ad!inistration
Cash receipts should be processed and ban-ed as 9uic-ly as possible because;
-0hey cannot earn interest or reduce overdraft until they are ban-ed
-Information about the e.istence and amounts of cash receipts is usually not available
until they are processed.
Intrna" Contro"

Cash and Cash management is part of a department2s overall internal control
system. 0he main internal cash control is invariably the ban- reconciliation. 0his
provides assurance that the cash balance recorded in the accounting systems are
consistent 1ith the actual ban- balance.
S$cu"ati% Moti%

0he speculative motive related to the holding of cash for investing in profit
ma-ing opportunities as and 1hen it arises. 0he opportunity to ma-e profit may arise
1hen the security prices changes.
RECEIVABLES MANAGEMENT
0he receivables represent an important component of the current assets of a firm.
0he term receivable is defined as :debt o1ed to the firm by customers arising from
sale of goods or services in the ordinary course of business2. Receivables
management is also called trade credit management. 0hus3 accounts receivable
represent an e.tension of credit to customers3 allo1ing them a reasonable period of
time in 1hich to pay for the goods received.
0he company in practice feels the necessity of granting credit for several
reasons;
Competition
Company2s bargaining po1er
,uyer re9uirements
Relationship 1ith dealers
!ar-eting tool
Industry practice
0ransit delays.
Crdit Po"ic'
In the preceeding3 the credit policy of a firm provides the frame1or- to determine
1hether or not to e.tend credit to a customer and ho1 much credit to e.tend. 0he credit
policy decision of a firm has t1o broad dimensions;
Crdit tr!s ha% thr co!$onnts
)* Crdit Priod
In terms of the duration of time for 1hich trade credit is e.tended during this
period the overdue amount must be paid by the customer. & firm2s credit period may
be governed by the industry norms. ,ut depending on its obective3 the firm can
lengthen the credit period.
,* Crdit Discount
If any3 1hich the customer can ta-e advantage of3 that is3 the overdue amount
1ill be reduced by this amount. 0he firm uses cash discount as a increase in sales and
accelerate collections from customers.
-* Crdit Discount Priod

8hich refers to the duration during 1hich the discount can be available of
these terms are usually.
Co""ction Po"icis
0he third area involved in the account receivables management is collection
policies. 0hey refer to the procedures follo1ed to collect account receivables 1hen3
after the e.piry of the credit period3 they become due. 0hese policies cover t1o
aspects.
)* Crdit Standard

0he term :credit standards2 represents the basic criteria for the e.tension
of credit of customers. Our aim is to sho1 1hat happens to the trade-off 1hen
standards are rela.ed or3 alternatively3 tightened. 0he tradeoff 1ith reference to credit
standards are;
0he collection costs
0he average collection period
"evel of bad debt losses
"evel of sales
,* Crdit Ana"'sis
,esides establishing credit standards a firm should develop procedures for
evaluating credit applicants. 0he second aspect of credit policies of a credit analysis
and investigation. 0he t1o basic steps are involved in the credit investigation
process;
Obtaining credit information
&nalysis of credit information
Crdit Tr!s
0he second decisions are in accounts receivables management is the credit
terms. &fter the credit standards have been established and the credit 1orthiness of the
customers has been assessed3 the management of a firm must determine the terms and
conditions of 1hich trade credit 1ill be made available. 0he stipulations under 1hich
goods are sold on credit are referred to as credit terms.

)* Dgr o( Co""ction E((ort

0o illustrate the effect of the collection effort3 the credit policies of a
firm may be categori/ed into
Strict="ight
"enient

0he collection policy 1ould be tight if very rigorous procedures are
follo1ed a tight collection policy has implications 1hich involve benefits as 1ell as
costs.
,* T'$ o( Co""ction E((orts
0he second aspect of collection policies related to the steps that should be
ta-en to collect over dues from the customers. 0he steps usually ta-en are
"etters3 including reminders3 to e.pedite payment
0elephone calls for personal contact
>ersonal visits
?elp of collection agencies and fully
"egal action
- 0he aim should be to collect as early as possible@ genuine
difficulties of the customers should be given due consideration.
- 0he management of receivables involves crucial decision in 3
areas credit policies3 credit terms3 collection policies.
- 0he obective of receivables management therefore is to have a
trade-off bet1een the benefits and costs associated 1ith the
e.tension of credit.
- 0he e.tension of credit involves ris- and cost. 0he benefits are
increased sales and anticipated increased profits=incremental
contribution.

3. Collection to accounts receivable statement.
0he 1hole calculation part data has provided by the employees of
finance department as secondary source of data and 1as no scope has
given me to loo- into original statements.
ANAL.SIS OF AGEING SCHED0LES
0he company prefers monthly ageing schedule to monitor its boo--debts.
0he debts outstanding are bro-en do1n into branch 1ise entries. 0he ageing
schedules for the past three years have been thoroughly analy/ed to come out 1ith
average outstanding days of the boo- debts of the company. On an average the
outstanding days of the boo- debts in the company is as follo1s overdue less than 3+
days3 3+ to %+ days3 and *+ to 1)+ days3 1)+ to 3++ days and above 3%+ days
respectively.
0hese reports are prepared especially for the e.tended overdue accounts. 0he
basic reason is to develop a file of customer 1ho re9uire special attention either in the
form of statement3 letters or the collection activity.
ACCO0NTS RECEIVABLE T0RN OVER RATIO
1. Credit sales divided by ending accounts receivables and
2. &ccounts receivables divided by credit-sales time
3%$ days the first formula gives the number of times the correct balance of
receivable is collected during the year3 1hile the second formula gives the
average number of days the current balance is e.pected to remain outstanding
before it is collected.
COLLECTION RATIO
0his is the ratio of monthly to the account receivables outstanding at the first of
the month to raise sales to receivables and collection to receivables is closely related.
&ccounts receivables are the second most li9uid form of assets of the firm. 0he
receivables come into being as credit-sales and constitute as one of the largest asset. S-ill
full administration of the receivables management is therefore of prime importance to the
business. 0he very reason of credit sales is to e.pand sales volume and if too debit is
maintained by the company in the approval of the customer credit purchases many sales
may be last that 1ould other1ise contribute to the profits of the firm. ,efore going to
9uote the credit at Reliance communication infrastructure limited.

debts to sales of the same period. 0his problem can be eliminated by using dis-
aggregated data for analy/ing collection e.perience.
