What is cash budget?


  • The cash budget is a statement of expected future cash receipts and payments
  • It assists decision making by:

    • documenting timing of all cash receipts and payments
    • helping to identify periods of expected cash shortages and surpluses 
    • identifying suitable times for purchase of non-current assets
    • assisting with planning and use of borrowed funds
    • providing a framework for ‘what if’ analysis 
  • For an entity that provides goods or services on credit, one of the main tasks in the preparation of a cash budget is calculating the cash receipts from the credit sales or fees generated
  • This is commonly shown in a schedule of receipts from debtors/accounts receivable
