Effective Cash Management includes:
• Efficient cash collection of accounts receivable (trade debtors) to maximise cash generation from sales and minimise collection costs such as bad debts and the need to obtain bridging loans such as bank overdrafts to cover cash shortages. • If cash is not in short supply - pay trade creditors early if they offer discounts for early payment.
