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

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.
