Financial Control
For any business that wants to succeed, ongoing financial control is crucial.
What Is Financial Control
Financial control is the coordination of activities and the assessment of a business's financial condition, drawn from financial reports built from asset data and cash flow status.
Through it, the business owner learns how, where, when, and how much money was earned and spent, making it possible to forecast expenses and revenue and understand inflows, outflows, income, and dividends.
Useful for business decision-making, these controls should be done frequently and are essential to day-to-day operations — they are also the first step toward working-capital management. Good working-capital management for small businesses, for example, resolves most financial-nature problems on its own.
Basic Types of Financial Control
Daily cash control
Records every cash inflow and outflow and calculates the current cash balance.
Bank control
Daily record of bank transactions and control of existing balances.
Daily sales control
Tracking of daily sales and accumulated sales totals over the month.
Accounts-receivable control
Control of amounts to be received (installment sales).
Accounts-payable control
Control of the bills the company must settle.
Monthly expense control
Recording each expense amount, tracking its trend over time.
Inventory control
The record provides information for restocking sold products and reducing idle inventory.
Cash flow control
Projecting future inflows and outflows to anticipate cash shortfalls or surpluses.
