Understanding the assumptions and corresponding results
• The assumptions embedded within the cash flow forecast should map and mirror
business movements through a company, reflecting a clear picture of liquidity:
 For example, in a negative cash flow situation:
 How much is the weekly cash burn rate?
 How long is the cash “runway”?
 Is the deficit liquidity temporary or permanent?
 In case of a positive cash situation:
 Is it due to improving operations or to changes in working capital?

• Understand how working capital moves in conjunction with the business operations:
 Accounts receivable (“A/R”)
 Changes in A/R component
 Inventory
 Events, such as inventory reduction, and how they impact borrowing base
 Accounts Payable (“A/P”)
 Potential pay-down of A/P, or aging of certain categories
 Be aware of non-A/P disbursements captured in accruals

6 Copyright © 2014 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved.


Understanding the assumptions and corresponding results (cont’d)
• Use the cash flow as an integral part of the planning process
 Who is involved in the preparation?
 Collaboration from various departments (e.g., sales, operations, finance,
accounting, etc.)
 Assign responsibility to management in charge of discrete item spending
 How is the weekly (daily) cash management process conducted?
 Determine who handles communications with the vendors and what message is
delivered
 Develop a disbursement approval process and delegate check signing authority

• Use the weekly variance analysis as a communication and learning tool


 Understand importance of cumulative variance analyses
 Establish and observe the trend over time

• Use components of income statement (“P&L”) revenue and expenses to sense-check the
cash flow
 Collections
 Material vendor payment goes hand-in-hand with COS of material
 Certain accrual item reflects total payment for the whole year

Various levers on cash flow management
• Levers on cash flow management:
 Revenue and receipts
 Cash collections acceleration
 Aged receivables settlement
 Asset monetization

 Disbursements
 Equipment rationalization
 Vendor management

 Non-operating receipts or disbursements


 Contribution from stakeholders, such as over-advance or equity

Leading practices in preparing a 13-week Cash Flow

• Document assumptions behind the cash flow forecast


 The forecast should reflect the current state, not a “pretty rainbow” scenario
 Reasonable operational reason to support major assumption changes

• The borrowing base is linked to the cash flow forecast


 Roll-forward of working capital accounts that is easy to follow

• Other considerations
 Under commit and over deliver
 Company should not play the “float” game
 Ensure that all trust-fund type payments are identified and covered

9 Copyright © 2014 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved.


Leading practices in preparing a 13-week Cash Flow

• Be there in person to manage cash


 Quick reaction is needed on many occasions
 Having a person in charge with good understanding of all moving components is
critical

• Develop a discipline of routine communications/calls on cash flow


 Do not hide from stakeholders

• Avoid general modeling errors


 Certain categories go negative, such as accounts receivable
 Revolver draw does not have a limit
 Accounts payable increases significantly
 Mathematical errors, row and columns do not tick and tie
