| Abstract | Cash flow is king (Rob Reider and Peter B. Heyler, 2003, p.1) and truly the lifeblood of
any business or organization. In the simplest way, cash flow is the process how the
company uses cash to produce and provide goods for customers, and then collect the funds
from the sales. As the trees cannot live without water, the business cannot operate without
cash. Cash flow is arguably the core of the business.
Cash flow plays very important role to the company. It shows a financial health and a clear
scene of the inflows and outflows of money from a company.
