1. Result
Significant gaps
Higher means stronger cash-management discipline and control. Findings reflect your answers; causes and financial effects still need verification against current records.
2. Priorities & actions
Priority 1
Priority selected: Late customer payments. Main pressure areas: Late customer payments, Invoices issued late. Where it appears: Customer invoicing. Reported frequency: Several times a week. Duration: 6–12 months. Seriousness: Regularly affects work. People affected: Owner / leadership. Repeat delay, cost or lost-opportunity frequency: Several times a week.
Use a current aged-receivables list, name the collection owner, set the next action for each material overdue balance, and review unresolved items weekly.
Priority 2
Reported control gaps or partial controls: clear ownership, clear rules / limits, simple written steps, clear escalation, controls actually used, control checking, root-cause correction after failure. Existing controls selected in Question 18: Aged receivables list. Current control effectiveness confidence: Mixed.
Keep controls that are already working. For the highest-risk verified gap, name the owner, clarify the rule or step, make the required information available, and check one exception from detection through correction before expanding the change.
Priority 3
Records available to verify the position: Bank balances. Confidence that the information is accurate enough to act on: Mixed.
Before making a material cash decision, reconcile the selected issue to the most relevant current records — such as the bank position, aged receivables, cash forecast, supplier due list, stock purchase records or management accounts — and record what remains uncertain.
3. Follow-up
Priority 1: Suggested owner: the manager responsible for cash / finance and the operating owner of the selected issue. Record a starting measure, review weekly for four weeks, and preserve service, supplier and protective controls while making changes.
Priority 2: Suggested owner: cash-control owner or responsible manager. Measure: exceptions, overdue actions and repeat failures. Review weekly and escalate material tax, payroll, fraud, financing or supplier-continuity risks immediately.
Priority 3: Suggested owner: finance / accounts lead or person maintaining the cash plan. Measure: data age, unreconciled differences and forecast-to-actual variance.
Why this result?
All 30 questions have been answered. The cashflow review result is available; reported conditions, causes and financial effects still need checking against current records before stronger conclusions are drawn. Some findings also require evidence validation before stronger claims are made.

- Guardrail: Working-capital decisions must balance liquidity, service, supplier/customer economics and risk; shorter is not automatically better.
Check: Check at least one dated transaction, receivable, stock, payment or cash-forecast example that matches the selected priority before treating the explanation as established.
Cash-management controls and follow-through
- Reported control gaps or partial controls: clear ownership, clear rules / limits, simple written steps, clear escalation, controls actually used, control checking, root-cause correction after failure. Existing controls selected in Question 18: Aged receivables list. Current control effectiveness confidence: Mixed.
- Guardrail: Working-capital decisions must balance liquidity, service, supplier/customer economics and risk; shorter is not automatically better.
Check: Check one recent exception or missed control and confirm who noticed it, who corrected it and whether the correction prevented a repeat.
Evidence quality and cash visibility
- Records available to verify the position: Bank balances. Confidence that the information is accurate enough to act on: Mixed.
- Guardrail: Working-capital decisions must balance liquidity, service, supplier/customer economics and risk; shorter is not automatically better.
Check: Do not convert an uncertain estimate into a financial fact. Verify the current records and date used for the decision.
Control effectiveness is not yet established
- Confidence that current controls are reducing the problem: Mixed. Control checking: Partly. Root-cause correction after failure: Partly.
- Guardrail: Working-capital decisions must balance liquidity, service, supplier/customer economics and risk; shorter is not automatically better.
Check: Compare a current result with the starting position before calling the control effective.
Keep required statutory, financial, supplier, service and fraud-prevention controls. Working-capital changes must be checked against liquidity and operational consequences.
