Thus cashshould be well managed to ensure that the organization has sufficient cash levels atall times to facilitate smooth flow of its operations.This section explains the purpose of having a cash management policy and the cashflow management. It spells out the policies and procedures involved in receiving,paying and recording of cash transactions. The section also covers the procedures forpetty cash control.1.1.1 Purpose of Cash Management <strong>Policy</strong>The purpose of cash management system is to ensure that:i. All cash received is promptly and accurately accounted for and banked intact;ii. All payments are properly verified and approved before payment is made;iii.

<strong>Kimisitu</strong> SACCO Society LimitedIt is a formidable task to plan for the Society cash because there are a lot ofvariations in the dates of cash receipts such that these may be received after the datemaking it difficult to match the Society receipts and cash payments.In order to resolve uncertainty about cash flow prediction and lack ofsynchronization between cash receipts and payments, the Society shall developappropriate strategies for cash management revolving around facets of cashmanagement that ensure:a) <strong>Liq</strong>uidity needs are planned on the basis of worst – case scenarios to limit thepotential liquidity crisesb) Policies are set for minimum and maximum cash levelsc) Cash needs are forecastd) Cash budgets are continuously updatede) Surplus funds are invested or disbursed as loansf) Cash is available for savings withdrawal and loanThe aim of cash flow management is to determine the optimal cash balance. This isthe amount of cash that balances the risks of illiquidity against the opportunity costassociated with maintaining a cash balance. Hence cash flow management aims atstriking a balance between:a) <strong>Invest</strong>ing cash to earn a competitive yield from deposit accounts or short terminvestments; andb) Holding cash to pay members loans and other day to day running expenses.The Society shall observe the following policy in cash flow management:a) Develop monthly and annual cash flow forecasts. These will be used bymanagement to determine future cash deficits or surpluses and henceplanning for either eventuality.b) Conduct regular reviews to ensure that the cash balances correspond with thebudget. Any significant variations from budget shall be analyzed andexplanations sought.<strong>Liq</strong>uidity, <strong>Invest</strong>ments and <strong>Dormant</strong> Accounts Policies and ProceduresPage 7 of 41

<strong>Kimisitu</strong> SACCO Society Limited2.0 INVESTMENTS POLICY2.1 Introduction<strong>Invest</strong>ment means acquisition by own or borrowed funds of long term assets,intended for promotion of the economic interests of the Society and its members.In technical language, all investment decisions are given the term “capitalexpenditure decisions”. Capital expenditure decisions require careful planning ofSociety’s funds which is called capital budgeting. By definition, capital budgeting isa Society’s decision to invest its current finance (from both members and lenders)in viable activities of long-term nature with expectations of returns that will berealized over a number of years in future. In SACCOs, the long term expectationmay be referred to as: - better and efficient service delivery andimprovement/enhancement of its products.<strong>Invest</strong>ment decisions will therefore entail efficient and effective application ofresources set aside for investment in accordance with the Law, prudential standardsand uplifting the primary objectives of the Society. <strong>Invest</strong>ments may entail thefollowing:-a) Purchase of new assets.b) Research and development.c) Development of new products e.g. savings and lending productsd) Expansion and modernization of existing computer system in order to meetthe current challenges.e) Establishment of branch networkf) Acquisition of new office complexg) <strong>Invest</strong>ment of surplus funds2.2 PurposeThe purpose of this investment policy is to provide a framework that fostersadherence to prudence in decision making and adherence to the philosophy ofsafety, liquidity, and yield (SLY) in all SACCO’s investment decisions and activities.<strong>Liq</strong>uidity, <strong>Invest</strong>ments and <strong>Dormant</strong> Accounts Policies and ProceduresPage 18 of 41


<strong>Kimisitu</strong> SACCO Society Limitedi) Safety is achieved by restricting investment activities to only those financialinstruments that possess little or no credit riskii) <strong>Liq</strong>uidity and rate risk are addressed in the Society’s asset/liability managementpolicy. Furthermore, the SACCO's investment activities are to be conducted inaccordance with both the Co-operative Act and all rules and regulations that pertainto the investment activities.iii) On Yield or return on investment, the more risky the investment, in theory, thehigher may be the potential return. Sometimes the nature of risk does notcompensate for the return; therefore consideration must always be given as towhether or not the risk is worth taking.2.3 StrategyThe Society should adhere to the strategy of matching shilling amounts, maturitiesand interest rates, of sources and uses of funds to the extent feasible. <strong>Invest</strong>mentmaturities will specifically be dictated by the stability of the sources of funds i.e.currency stability and inflation. Safety of principal and interest shall be the primaryconsideration in all decisions on investmentDue to changes in economic conditions the Society should ensure that resources arenot tied up in one type of asset. Inflation could as well result in deterioration of thevalue of a particular asset. There could be a decline in the markets or difficultiescould be experienced in a particular area of investment. Diversification ofinvestment portfolio will therefore cushion any negative effects in any one area.The Society is formed for purposes of improving the economic well being of itsmembers. The recommended mix on types of investments as a percentage of totalassets should be as follows;Loans to Members 70% - 80%<strong>Liq</strong>uid <strong>Invest</strong>ments 10% - 20%<strong>Invest</strong>ments in apex & other organizations < 0.5 %Non-Earning Assets
