researchers developed a cash management framework which is based on the
results of this study and highlights the best practices of cash management of
events place businesses.
Based on the findings and conclusion presented, the following
recommendations are suggested: First, the events place businesses must
record their daily cash receipts to avoid errors and fraud. They must assign to
one skilled person the responsibilities of handling cash receipts, Second, the
management must strictly implement a policy of depositing all cash receipts and
daily collections in the bank at the end of each business day and considers
borrowing from outside sources in order to meet their current cash deficits. This
ensures the liquidity and profitability of the business. Third, the management of
events place businesses must consider 30-day payment terms to balance the
need for consistent cash flow and developing a strong customer relationship by
offering reasonable payment periods. In addition, preparing a settlement or payment terms can give flexible payment options and can reduce the risk of late
or missed payments. Next, events place businesses must await the financial
manager's approval before disbursing cash to ensure proper financial oversight,
maintain budgetary contract and prevent unauthorized or fraudulent transactions.
This will keep the company assets and financial health safe. Moreover, they must
consider Issuing checks when settling obligations as it provides a documented
record of payment, offering both the business and the recipient a clear audit trail
for accounting and legal purposes, which is often more secure and traceable
than cash transactions. With this, they can prevent disputes and ensure
transparency in financial dealings. Lastly, it is recommended that events place
businesses must adapt the best practices of cash management provided in the
framework of this study. These practices will help them to manage their cash
inflow and outflow property and maintain a positive cash balance for their daily
