Post by: holtadit on May 06, 2010, 06:09:20 pm

A cash flow forecast is used by the company to help it with its financial control. Explain
why Python Bicycles would find a cash flow forecast useful.


So this question comes up regularly in one form or another.

Cashflow forecast can also be used to request banks for money.
