A cash budget is a forecast of the cash receipts and cash disbursements for a future period of time.  It is an important financial management tool that helps management to decide when to borrow cash to meet shortages and when to invest excess cash to generate income.  By its preparation, management is prepared to avoid liquidity problems which can ruin a business.
