CASH TIPS – The Full LIST – MyCash

Welcome to the MyCash Dashboard Tips on Cash Whitepaper.

We provide over 100 tips to help you improve your cash flow. Rather than simply form the list we suggest you conduct a DIY rating of your organisation against each tip. Is it

Circle or highlight the rating applicable to your organisation.

It is a strength

It could be better

It’s not good

Not applicable

After completing the rating count the number of responses in each category.

As this is a DIY test, you assess the results yourself. From experience, if there are many (or any) that ‘could be better’, or ‘not good’ then that it is an indication that cash management is not the priority against other pressing tasks.

That’s where MyCash Dashboard can help. We recognise you are busy. Our Accredited Consultants are experts at helping organisations improve cash management.
