Advantages of Cash flow analysis.

Cash flow analysis gives the organization a perspective of when the cash flows in and how the same cash is spent (Brealey, 2007). It offers a clear perspective of the budget, profit and loss statements general ledger or even the balance sheet. Cash flow management ensures effective control of expenditure to ascertain profitability of the business.

Cash flows assures maintenance of adequate cash reserves that is enough to meet the daily needs of the business (Brealey, 2007). For instance when an organization has enough cash to ensure the meeting of the daily expenses, such as telephone bills, and other sundry expenses. A good cash flow analysis will guarantee adequate cash to cover such expenditures. Secondly, it allows better management of credit facilities which adequately leads to proper meeting of daily expenses and can also result in decline in charges, interest penalties and fees. On the other hand it gives the business an opportunity to adjust with the prevailing economic situation to ensure it remains operational even in tough times.
