Features of cash flow compared to profit

Abstract

Taking into account modern business circumstances, it is easy to conclude that money represents the most significant and the most deficient of goods. One of the most important conditions for such a situation, among other things, is the irresponsibility of numerous business organization leaders. Due to a high degree of competitiveness and the globalization of the modern market, each business segment must be thoroughly planned. The problem of liquidity is one of the most modern issues that modern economic organizations encounter. The starting point for solving a large number of organizational-business problems are the financial statements of the organization, in the forms of a balance sheet, an income statement and a cash flow statement. The topic of this paper is the presenting of a real economic situation in which a business organization realizes, at the same time, profit but also negative cash flows. The necessary and essential roots to address this disparity are the proper planning of operations. It is necessary to apply some of the basic balance rules of financing that are reflected in the matching of fund maturity and funding sources. It is necessary to finance short-term funds exclusively from short-term sources. Otherwise, the liquidity of the organization can be seriously disrupted.
