    Study Notes

    Project Cashflow Management Process

    • The process is initiated when a new project is created in PDB and appears in the relevant entity's Project Cashflow Summary Spreadsheet within 24 hours.
    • The Project Manager registered in PDB receives a Wrike task to enter income and expenses data in the Project Cashflow Summary Spreadsheet.
    • Implementation is initiated when there is significant impact information on income or expenses, or when the Project Manager or Programmes Team edits the Approved Expenses or Approved Income in PDB.
    • The Project Manager registered in PDB receives a Wrike task to update the relevant entity's Project Cashflow Summary Spreadsheet within 24 hours of any changes.
    • All data entered relates to cash, not obligations or accruals, and excludes costs of HQ-GL personnel, overhead, or anything else in an Area Budget.
    • The Internal Project Cashflow Spreadsheet contains past data on income, expenses, and transactions, which should be reviewed for relevance and accuracy.
    • Project transaction queries should be reported to the supervisor if they relate to more than $10,000 or more than 5% of the project's Approved Expenses or Approved Income.
    • Past months of income and expenses should be updated in the Project Cashflow Summary Spreadsheet to match the actuals calculated from the previous step.
    • Future months of income and expenses should be updated in the Project Cashflow Summary Spreadsheet with expected amounts.
    • Column D in the and tabs will show as green, orange, or red depending on the accuracy of predicted amounts.
    • If Column D is red, the steps above should be revisited to seek a change in PDB, deal with project transaction queries, ensure past months' accuracy, or change future months' predictions.
    • Completion of the process is achieved when Column D shows as green or orange, indicating accurate predictions of income and expenses.
