how do i learn about cash flow charts?

Question

my boss has suddenly said today i have to do cash flow reports i have heard about them but have no clue on how to do them. any quick answers would be gratefully received

Answer 1

Cash flow charts are really simple. Just make one list of all different sources of cash income for the company, department, or whatever. Then, make a list of all different sources of cash loss for the company/department/whatever. Then, under each individual item of income or loss, write the amount of cash gained or lost. It sounds very simple, but it's actually very useful for planning a business.

Answer 2

Cash flow charts are quite simple , Depening on what your company does ,

What your boss wants is a set of figures ( Vaules )

1 Stock 2 Stock ordered 3 Customer Orders / Sales etc

And Totals

Used to do this in a warehouse with around 48,000 products

Answer 4

If you are fifteen with minimal prior knowledge of the markets I would start with books that are not jargon heavy. Some excellent books that provide a lot of knowledge in common terms would be the following: The Little Book of Common Sense Investing, Bogle The Little Book that Builds Wealth, Dorsey The Little Book of Value Investing; Browne A book that is a little deeper and more intense would be The Interpretation of Financial Statements, Graham and Dodd. Anything by G&D is great, but intense if you have little background.

Answer 5

Go to 'Help' in your financial software or MS Excel, type cash flow and the answers should appear in front of you.

Also check for a tutorial attached to the software package.

Answer 6

i suggest popping into your local county council library and borrowing a couple of books for free to learn the basics - that way you can look at a few different ones and find one you like

Answer 7

Ask the Company Accountant.

If that's you, then tell you Boss you don't have sufficient qualifications to do this :-)
