| 单词 | cash flow |
| 释义 | cash flow The pattern over time of a firm's actual receipts and payments in money, as opposed to credit. A major responsibility of the finance director of any business is to forecast its cash flow, on both current and capital account, and to ensure that the timing of receipts and payments is such that money is always available to meet any payments that have to be made. Business which appears profitable on the basis of present discounted value may prove disastrous if the receipts come in too late relative to the payments due, so that the firm is forced out of business before the receipts arrive. A profitable business can normally borrow to deal with cash flow problems, but only if potential creditors can be convinced that their loans will be reasonably safe. Neglecting cash flow by taking on business before the necessary finance has been arranged is extremely risky. See also: discounted cash flow |
