hey friend, here are some information about CASH MANAGEMENT and FUND MANAGEMENT please have a look i hope it can be of some help to you...
CASH MANAGEMENT:
Cash management is a term that covers a number of functions that help individuals and businesses process receipts and payments in an organized and efficient manner.
Administering cash assets makes use of a number of automated support services offered by banks and other financial institutions. The range of cash management services range from simple checkbook balancing to investing cash in bonds and other types of securities to automated software that allows easy cash collection.
cash management, is a marketing term for certain services offered primarily to larger business customers. It may be used to describe all bank accounts (such as checking accounts) provided to businesses of a certain size,
but it is more often used to describe specific services such as cash concentration, zero balance accounting, and automated clearing house facilities.
Cash Flow refers to the flow of cash into and out of a business over a period of time. The outflow of cash is measured by the money you pay every month to salaries, suppliers, and creditors. The inflows are the cash you receive from customers, lenders, and investors.
Positive Cash Flow
If the cash coming into the business is more than the cash going out of the business, the company has a positive cash flow. A positive cash flow is very good and the only concern here is managing the excess cash prudently.
Negative Cash Flow
If the cash going out of the business is more than the cash coming into the business, the company has a negative cash flow. A negative cash flow can be caused by a number of problems that result in a shortage of cash, such as too much or obsolete inventory, or poor collections on accounts receivable. If the company doesn't have money in the bank or can't borrow additional cash at this point, it may be in serious trouble.
A Cash Flow Statement is typically divided into three components so that you can see and understand both the internal and external sources and uses of cash.
Operating Cash Flow (Internal)
Operating cash flow, often referred to as working capital, is the cash flow generated from internal operations. It is the cash generated from sales of the product or service of your business. Because it is generated internally, it is under your control.
Investing Cash Flow (Internal)
Investing cash flow is generated internally from non-operating activities. This component would include investments in plant and equipment or other fixed assets, nonrecurring gains or losses, or other sources and uses of cash outside of normal operations.
Financing Cash Flow (External)
Financing cash flow is the cash to and from external sources, such as lenders, investors and shareholders. A new loan, the repayment of a loan, the issuance of stock and the payment of dividend are some of the activities that would be included in this section of the cash flow statement.
Features of Good cash management:
1. Knowing when, where, and how your cash needs will occur,
2. Knowing what the best sources are for meeting additional cash needs; and,
3. Being prepared to meet these needs when they occur, by keeping good relationships with bankers and other creditors.
FUND MANAGEMENT :
The management of physical assets (their selection, maintenance, inspection and renewal) plays a key role in determining the operational performance and profitability of industries that operate assets as part of their core business.
Fund Management or Asset Management is the art and science of making the right decisions and optimising these processes. A common objective is to minimise the whole life cost of assets but there may be other critical factors such as risk or business continuity to be considered objectively in this decision making.
This emerging professional discipline deals with the optimal management of physical asset systems and their life cycles. It represents a cross-disciplinary collaboration to achieve best net, sustained value-for-money in the selection, design/ acquisition, operations, maintenance and renewal/ disposal of physical infrastructure and equipment.
It is a business process and a decision-making framework that covers an extended time horizon, draws from economics as well as engineering, and considers a broad range of assets. The asset management approach incorporates the economic assessment of trade-offs among alternative investment options and uses this information to help make cost-effective investment decisions.
Asset management has come of age because of:
changes in the transportation environment,
changes in public expectations, and
extraordinary advances in technology.
