Develop cash flow forecasts

Trigger: A scheduled financial planning cycle or a management request for liquidity analysis initiates the forecasting process.

1. Gather historical cash flow data and current account balances
2. Project anticipated cash inflows from collections and revenue
3. Estimate future cash outflows for payroll, vendor payments, and debt service
4. Consolidate projections into a standardized cash flow model
5. Conduct scenario analysis and review assumptions
6. Finalize and distribute the cash flow forecast to stakeholders

Outcome: A finalized cash flow forecast is approved and distributed to management to guide capital allocation and liquidity decisions.
