THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introducton
Cash is considered as the lifeblood of all business establishments,
whether small, medium or large in scale, it is the most vital asset which provides
the basis of its life. It should be managed efficiently to support the growth and
financial strength of the business, with sufficient cash a business has the ability
to buy almost any of the other resources.
Due to its vitality, cash management can be crucial and difficult up to a
point in which every decision can affect the business in a great degree. It is a key
component of ensuring a business’ stability and solvency. If at any time, a
business fails to pay an obligation when it’s due, the business is insolvent which
the primary reason why businesses go bankrupt. This is the reason why good
management of cash is required in running a business. uccessfully managing
cash is an essential skill for small business developers because they typically
have less access to affordable credit and have significant amount of upfront
costs they need to manage while waiting for receivables. Cash management
involves a broad area of financing which includes the collection, handling, and
usage of cash. !isely managing cash enables a business to meet une"pected
e"penses in addition to handling regularly#occurring events.

Cash management therefore, is a challenging and difficult task, due to the
fact that the life of the business hangs in the balance, which is why business
owners need to manage their cash efficiently$ they also need keep track of every
movement of money received or spent, as well as the changes in their
environment.
!e chose this matter as the sub%ect for this study in order to gain more
knowledge on how to manage cash more effectively in order to help other people
who lack knowledge about cash management.
uccessful cash management involves not only avoiding insolvency, but
also reducing days in account receivables, increasing collection rates, selecting
appropriate short term investment vehicles, and increasing days in cash on hand,
all in order to improve the business’ overall stability and financial profitability.
Bac!"round o# the Stud$
ince the &''(s, there has been a resurgence of interest on the role of
small scale business enterprises in the )hilippines, in national and international
economic and social development. mall scale businesses are vital to the
success of the economy. *ot only as they provide the success stories of the
future, but also because they meet local needs +e.g. hairdresser, financial
consultant, and emergency plumber. This is consistent with the overall shift of
development strategies in many countries toward a more decentrali-ed, even
locali-ed, approach. s such, many scholars, practitioners, and institutions
involved in economic development have begun to recogni-e the important roles

that smaller#scale business entities play in the economy and society. /ore and
more people are becoming convinced that these entities can be a very effective
means of achieving, not only economic progress, but social goals as well. ll of
these suggest a greater need to increase our understanding of the nature and
capabilities of small scale businesses in their cash management practices as well
as the common problems that they encounter. ome of the common problems a
small scale business owner faces are miscalculations and wrong allocation of
cash resulting in shortages and failure to meet necessary obligations.
Lterature Re%e&
0abil +1(&1 cited that 2cash management means the management of
liquidity in order to meet their day#to#day commitment3.
Tonen +1((4 the researcher stated that 2it is reasonable to e"pect that the
role of financial transactions in the cash management process in adding to firm
value has increased its importance and change the cash management behavior
of firms.3
)andey +1((4 2Cash is the important current asset for the operations of
the business which is the basic input needed to keep the business running on a
continuous basis5 it is also the ultimate output e"pected to be reali-ed 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 firm6s manufacturing
operations while e"cessive cash will simply remain idle without contributing

anything towards the firm6s profitability. Thus, a ma%or function of the financial
manager is to maintain a ound cash position.3
Isidro +1(&7 shared her views on the importance of cash. he stated that
2Cash flow is an essential ingredient to the survival of your small business. It is
the flow of money in and out of your small business, and the quantity as well as
timing of that flow is critical to the continued operation of your business.3
2Cash helps your business purchase items it needs to produce products
and services for profit, thereby helping your business to generate more cash for
its operation. If customers are slow to pay or your pricing structure does not
adequately cover the cost of production, your business will not have enough cash
to continue operation. 8ven if your business is turning in a profit, you can still be
forced to close if your business runs out of cash93
:audato +1(&; stated that 2cash management offers a great deal of
importance in operating business. The business will not survive if the finance
manager does not know how to handle cash effectively3.
he also mentioned in her study that 2the cash management is the
planning, controlling and accounting of cash transactions and cash balances.
0ecause the cash move so readily between bank accounts and financial assets,
cash management really means the management of all the resources3.

focusing on the firm’s cash flows$ and how use of pro forma statements can head
off trouble for the firm.
Tennet +1(&1 mentioned in his book, 2of all the resources cash is
probably the most important. !ith sufficient cash a business has the ability to
buy almost any other resources in which it may be deficient3.
?ichardson +1((7 stated that 2cash management is the movement of
funds through financial institutions to optimi-e liquidity. It is the management of
corporate funds to increase interest income earned by ma"imi-ing investments
and@or reducing interest paid by minimi-ing borrowings3.
Ae also mentioned that 2cash management is a financial discipline that
uses the same principles, regardless of the type of business, si-e or age of an
enterprise3.
2Cash management is not an accounting function. The accountant records
and reports transactions historically$ the cash manager plans and e"ecutes these
financial transactions. Cash managers use techniques, products and services to
efficiently manage cash resources and satisfactorily resolve cash shortages
surpluses3.
/organ +1((7 mentioned in his book that 2cash is one of your most
important assets and should be managed efficiently to support your growth and
financial strength3.
!ard +1(&; stated that 2cash flow management is the process of
monitoring, analy-ing, and ad%usting their business’ cash flows3.

ccording to the study conducted by :eung +1((7, 2cash plays a vital role
in a company’s operation. It is used to pay wages and salaries, trade debts,
ta"es and dividends. It not only enables the company to promptly pay its
creditors and suppliers so as to foster good relations but also lets the company
take advantage of favorable business opportunities. /ost importantly, it keeps
the company liquid and prevents it from insolvency or bankruptcy. Ae also
mentioned 2the ob%ectives of cash management5 +a to have sufficient cash for
operation in order to maintain liquidity$ and +b to invest e"cess cash for a return3.
2It was also mentioned that 2cash is the most active item on the
accounting statements. The movement of cash completes almost all purchases
and sales transactions. )urchases of goods and services normally results in cash
payments$ sales normally result in cash receipts. Cash more than any other
asset, is the item involved in business transactions. This is due to the nature of
the business transactions which include a price and condition calling for
settlement in terms of the medium of e"change.3
2In striking contrast to the activity of cash is its unproductive nature. ince
cash is the measure of value, it cannot e"pand or grow unless it is converted into
some other properties. 8"cessive cash balances of cash on hand are often
referred to as 2idle cash3. 8fficient cash management requires that available cash
be continuously working in one of several ways B for e"ample, as part of the
operating cycle or as a short term or long term investment because of the high
value of money in relation to its mass, it’s easy transferability, and other obvious
characteristics, it is the asset most susceptible to improper diversion and used by
8/19/2019 Cash Management Thesis Chapters 1- 4

employees. In addition, a great many transactions either directly or indirectly
affect its receipt or payment. It is therefore essential that cash be effectively
safeguarded by the special controls.3
!altson et al +1((4, e"plained that cash management as the concept
which is concerned with optimi-ing the amount of cash available, ma"imi-ing the
interest earned by spare funds not required immediately and reducing losses
caused by delays in the transmission of funds.
ccording to Davidson et al, +1((7, 2cash is any medium of e"change,
which is immediately negotiable. It must be free of restriction for any business
purpose. Cash has to meet the prime requirements of general acceptability and
availability for instant use in purchasing and payment of debt. cceptability to a
bank for deposit is a common test applied to cash items. This is a process of
)lanning, controlling, and accounting for cash transactions and cash balances. It
is channeling available cash into e"penditures that enhance productivity, directly
or indirectly3.
Team /8 +1(&; cited in their book that 2management of cash flow is
one part of a larger management responsibility known as the management of
working capital, which refers to the operating liquidity available to an
organi-ation3.
ccording to immerer et al +1((E 2cash management is the process of
forecasting, collecting, disbursing, investing, and planning for cash a company
needs to operate smoothly. They further added that cash management is a vital
8/19/2019 Cash Management Thesis Chapters 1- 4

task because it is the most important yet least productive asset that a small
business owns. business must have enough cash to meet its obligations or it
will be declared bankrupt. Creditors, employees and lenders e"pect to be paid on
time and cash is the required medium of e"change, however, some firms retain
an e"cessive amount of cash to meet any une"pected circumstances that might
arise. These dormant cash have an income#earning potential that owners are
ignoring and this restricts a firm’s growth and lowers its profitability. Investing
cash, even for a short time, can add to company’s earning. )roper cash
management permits the owner to adequately meet cash demands of the
business, avoid retaining unnecessarily large cash balances and stretch the profit
generating power of each dollar the business owns3.
Cash management is particularly important for new and growing
businesses. Davidson et al, +1((7 indicated in their book that 2cash flow can be
a problem even when a small business has numerous clients, offers a superior
product to its customers, and en%oys a sterling reputation in its industry.
Companies suffering from cash flow problems have no margin of safety in case
of unanticipated e"penses. They also may e"perience trouble in finding the funds
for innovation or e"pansion. inally, poor cash flow makes it difficult to hire and
retain good employees3.
2Cash management has four ma%or functions$ determination of minimum
cash balances, effective borrowing, advantageous investment of e"cess cash,
and acceleration of cash flow3.
8/19/2019 Cash Management Thesis Chapters 1- 4
9/43

2The minimum cash balance is established by taking into consideration the
basic safety cushion needed, minimum bank balance requirements, and the rate
of daily cash collections and disbursements. Cash balances should be
maintained at the lowest practical minimum because e"cess cash earns nothing
and loses purchasing power in period of rising prices3.
Aofstrand, +1(&; said that 2cash flow statement is one of the most
important financial statements for a pro%ect or business. The statement can be as
simple as a one page analysis or may involve several schedules that feed
information into a central statement. It is a listing of the flows of cash into and out
of the business or pro%ect.3
ardakis +1((4 stated that 2it is very important to have efficient and
effective liquidity management for the survival of the business, especially for
smaller ones3.
!esterfield et al, +1((4 noted that 2it is important to distinguish between
true cash management and a more general sub%ect of liquidity management. The
distinction is a source of confusion because the word cash is used in practice in
two different ways3.
2irst, it has its literal meanings, actual cash on hand. Aowever, financial
managers frequently use the word to describe a firm6s holdings of cash along
with its marketable securities, and marketable securities are sometimes called
cash equivalents or near cash. In our distinction between liquidity management
and cash management is straightforward, they added3.

!oodward et al, +1((4 2Cash flow accounting involves the reporting of
classified list of last year’s cash flows, and a set of forecast cash flows, with
supporting analysis of the variances between last year’s actual and forecast cash
flows. It therefore emphasi-es the most fundamental events in business
activities, cash flows into and out of the firm, and the segregation of past +cash
facts from future estimates, accounting time period allocation, based on
estimates of consumption are avoided3.
Fasilo, +1((7 2Cash flows from operations are the amount of cash a firm
generates in a measured time from its operation. Garious methods are used to
determine the amount of operating cash flow. The prevalent methods use the
income statement and the balance sheet to prepare the cash flow statement
+also called statement of sources and application of funds3.
Aampton +1((= stated that cash is the money which a firm can disburse
immediately without any restriction. The term cash includes coins, currency and
checks held by the firm, and balances in its bank accounts. ometimes near#
cash items, such as marketable securities or bank time’s deposits, are also
included in cash. The basic characteristic of near#cash assets is that they can
readily be converted into cash.

Theoretca' (ra)e&or!
In financial theory, researchers will be interested in how cash and other
liquid assets affect firm value and the optimal capital structure of a firm. Cash
management is e"pected to play a key role in creating stockholder value. That is
why it is important to find new evidence of cash management behavioral
dimensions that cause the creation or destruction of shareholder value. /orris
+&'E; integrated operating cash flow activities into the risk and return
framework. In this statement, the cash management policy of the firm will
assume to be of the /iller and Hrr type. artoris and Aill +&'E; integrated short#
run cash inflows and outflows into the net present value model. They have
showed that the changes in cash management policies have a direct effect on
the value of the firm.
The /iller and Hrr model of cash management is one of the various cash
management models in operation. It is an important cash management model as
well. It helps the present day companies to manage their cash while taking into
consideration the fluctuations in daily cash flow.
s per the /iller and Hrr model of cash management the companies let
their cash balance move within two limits # the upper limit and the lower limit. The
companies buy or sell the marketable securities only if the cash balance is equal
to any one of these.
!hen the cash balances of a company touches the upper limit it purchases a
certain number of saleable securities that helps them to come back to the desired
8/19/2019 Cash Management Thesis Chapters 1- 4
12/43

2
level. If the cash balance of the company reaches the lower level then the
company trades its saleable securities and gathers enough cash to fi" the
problem.
It is normally assumed in such cases that the average value of the
distribution of net cash flows is -ero. It is also understood that the distribution of
net cash flows has a standard deviation. The /iller and Hrr model of cash
management also assumes that distribution of cash flows is normal.

The respondents encountered cash management problems like having
cash overages and poor decisions in handling cash occasionally. Hther problems
like having not enough cash for emergency e"penses and necessary obligations,
miscalculations and wrong allocations of cash, cash shortages, huge overhead
costs, and problems collecting receivables were seldom e"perienced by the
respondents.

significant which means that four practices have a significant relationship with the
common problems encountered in cash management.
In terms of disbursing, the result of the test of significance that was
made showed that the first, second, and fourth practices of disbursing have
significant relationship with the common problems encountered and the third and
fifth practices have none.
In terms of controlling, the result of the test of significance that was
made showed that the first and fourth practices under controlling had no
significant relationship with the common problems encountered$ however, it also
showed that the second, third, and fifth practices had a significant relationship
with the common problems encountered.

Conc'u-on-
The following were the conclusions drawn from the findings5
The cash management practices under forecasting have no significant
relationship with the common problems encountered. Aowever, most of the cash
management practices under receiving, disbursing, controlling, and investing
have significant relationship with the common problems encountered. It is safe to
assume that the common problems that the respondents encountered affect the
levels of their cash management practices.
Reco))endaton-
0ased on the findings and conclusions of this study, it is observed that
the common problems encountered by the respondents affect the levels of their
cash management practices. The following recommendations were in order.
It is recommended that the respondents must check then re#check and
improve their performances in term receiving, disbursing, controlling, and
investing their cash. The respondents must not let the problems that they
encounter affect their cash management practices. Aowever their performance in
forecasting is good because it is not affected by the common problems that they
encounter.
?egarding the common problems that they encounter, it is inevitable
especially in running a business and managing cash, it is recommended that they
prepare better for the problems that they may encounter in the future.
