What is Cash Deficit

This chapter tries to contribute to the discussion about nonprofit organizations in the cash management area. The leaders of non-profit organizations are mostly concerned with their primary aim such as charity or such as the eradication of fluorocarbons. Usually, nonprofits' leaders ignore the subject of financial management. However, this ignorance may lead business failure. The cash management, which is an important subject of financial management, is vital for non-profit organizations because these organizations are usually poor in cash and their cash flow fluctuates throughout the year. The finance managers have to plan the cash flow periodically in order to pay current bills on at the appropriate time with an appropriate cost. In this chapter, the cash inflow characteristics of non-profit organizations, the basic concepts of cash flow management such as cash flow statement, cash flow budgeting, cash flow analysis based on financial ratios and cash flow problems and its possible solutions are tried to be explained.
