Open publisher page 4 citations

Abstract

The results of recent surveys of businesses indicate that cash flow is the single most important problem they face. The business press has noted that “cash‐flow planning is one of the more difficult and vulnerable areas in business management,” and that “businessmen can't understand why…they [are] running out of cash.” In fact, it's safe to suggest for companies of any size that cash is the lifeblood of the firm, and that a company's cash‐planning practices can be a critical early warning device of impending financial trouble.
