Cash is the important current asset for the operations of the business. Cash is the

basic input needed to keep the business running on a continuous basis; it is also the ultimate

output expected to be realized by selling the service or product manufactured by the firm.

The firm should keep sufficient cash, neither more nor less. Cash shortage will disrupt the

firm’s manufacturing operations while excessive cash will simply remain idle, without

contributing anything towards the firm’s profitability. Thus, a major function of the financial

manager is to maintain a sound cash position.

Cash is the money which a firm can disburse immediately without any restriction.

The term cash includes coins, currency and cheques held by the firm, and balances in its bank

accounts. Sometimes near-cash items, such as marketable securities or bank deposits, are

also included in cash. The basic characteristic of near-cash assets is that they can readily be

converted into cash. Generally, when a firm has excess cash, it invests it in marketable

securities. This kind of investment contributes some profit to the firm.

Cash management is a broad term that refers to the collection, concentration, and

disbursement of cash. The goal is to manage the cash balances of an enterprise in such a way

as to maximize the availability of cash not invested in fixed assets or inventories and to do so

in such a way as to avoid the risk of insolvency. Factors monitored as a part of cash

management include a company's level of liquidity, its management of cash balances, and its

short-term investment strategies.

In some ways, managing cash flow is the most important job of business managers. If at any

time a company fails to pay an obligation when it is due because of the lack of cash, the
company is insolvent. Insolvency is the primary reason firms go bankrupt. Obviously, the

prospect of such a dire consequence should compel companies to manage their cash with

care. Moreover, efficient cash management means more than just preventing bankruptcy.

Cash management is particularly important for new and growing businesses. Cash flow can

be a problem even when a small business has numerous clients, offers a product superior to

that offered by its competitors, and enjoys a sterling reputation in its industry. Companies

suffering from cash flow problems have no margin of safety in case of unanticipated

expenses. They also may experience trouble in finding the funds for innovation or expansion.

It is, somewhat ironically, easier to borrow money when you have money. Finally, poor cash

flow makes it difficult to hire and retain good employees.

It is only natural that major business expenses are incurred in the production of goods or the

provision of services. In most cases, a business incurs such expenses before the

corresponding payment is received from customers. In addition, employee salaries and other

expenses drain considerable funds from most businesses. These factors make effective cash

management an essential part of any business's financial planning.

When cash is received in exchange for products or services rendered, many small

business owners, intent on growing their company and tamping down debt, spend most or all

of these funds. But while such priorities are laudable, they should leave room for businesses

to absorb lean financial times down the line. The key to successful cash management,

therefore, lies in tabulating realistic projections, monitoring collections and disbursements,

establishing effective billing and collection measures, and adhering to budgetary restrictions.
1.2 NEED OF THE STUDY

The importance of Cash management in any industrial concern cannot be

overstressed. Under the present inflationary condition, management of Cash is perhaps more

important than even management of profit and this requires greatest attention and efforts of

the finance manager. It needs vigilant attention as each of its components require different

types of treatment and it throws constant attention on exercise of skill and judgment,

awareness of economic trend etc, due to urgency and complicacy the vital importance of

Cash.

The anti-inflationary measure taken up by the Government, creating a tight money

condition has placed working capital in the most challenging zone of management and it

requires a unique skill for its management. Today, the problem of managing Cash has got the

recognition of separate entity, so its study and management is of major importance to both

internal and external analyst to judge the current position of the business concerns. Hence, the

present study entitled “An Cash Management” has been taken up.
