Tutorial – 12-Month Cash Flow Projection
Hi Class,
For the avoidance of misunderstanding, the 12-month Cash Flow Projection required in the final project is not an official Statement of Cash Flow.
The final assignment does not require students to prepare an official Statement of Cash Flow for your business because it involves more advanced knowledge of
Accounting that separates cash flow activities into Operating, Financing and Investing activities.
The goal of the final project is for our student to prepare a 12-month (month by month) cash flow projection that take into account of Cash Receipt (Cash Inflow) of
your sales minus itemized Cash Disbursement (Cash Outflow) of expenses, interest, taxes or amortizations. Cash Surplus represents Positive Net Cash Flow whereas Cash
Deficit represents Negative Net Cash Flow for each accounting period once you subtract total cash disbursements by total cash receipt.
Here is a youtube video How to Prepare Cash Flow Projection? showing you how to prepare 12-month cash flow project for the final assignment.
Please feel free to ask any follow-up questions.

Hi Class,
Just to quick refresh your memory about this topic..
As a small business owner, you shall also properly define your Accounting Period.
Calendar Year, refers to a period from 1/1 to 12/31, is an intuitive method many small businesses adopt. There are many businesses and large corporations using Fiscal
Year i.e. a period covering 12 consecutive months.
Click Calendar or Fiscal? Which Tax Year is Right for your Small Business? to examine the best tax year for your small business.
For the final project, feel free to adopt Calendar or Fiscal year for your company and reflect your choice in your Pro-Forma financial statements and 12-month cash
flow projection.
