Excel Skills | Weekly Cash Flow Template | Forecast vs Actual


Instructions

www.excel-skills.com

This template enables users to create weekly cash flow projections for any user defined 52 week period and to compare the
forecasted balances to actual results. The cash flow forecast is compiled by editing the default values in the forecast
assumptions and entering weekly turnover, gross profit percentages, expenses, capital expenditure and loan amount
forecasts. The actual results are compiled from the actual account balances that are entered. The template includes a weekly
income statement, cash flow statement and balance sheet for both the cash flow forecast and actual results. Our unique
management report enables users to compare the forecast and actual balances by simply selecting the appropriate week
from a list box in a single input cell.

Note: Our unique range of templates also includes a Business Plan Forecast template, Annual Cash Flow Projection
template, Monthly Cash Flow Projection template and a monthly Forecast vs Actual Cash Flow template. Visit the Templates
pages of our website for sample & trial versions of all of these cash flow templates.
The following sheets are included in this template:
Assumptions - this sheet includes the default assumptions on which the weekly cash flow forecast is based.

Forecast - this sheet includes a detailed weekly income statement and cash flow statement for a 52 week period with
quarterly & annual totals. The weekly turnover amounts, gross profit percentages, expenses, capital expenditure,
shareholders' contributions and new loan amounts need to be entered by the user. All the other cash flow projection
calculations on this sheet are automated.

Actual - this sheet includes a detailed income statement and cash flow statement that can be used to record the actua
financial results. Weekly turnover amounts, gross profit percentages, expenses, interest amounts, capital expenditure and
loan amounts need to be entered by the user and the other cash flow line items are calculated from the actual balance sheet
balances.

BS - this sheet includes the forecast and actual weekly balance sheets. The forecast balance sheet is automatically
calculated from the forecast assumptions and the forecast income statement & cash flow statement (no additional user input
is required). Most of the actual balance sheet balances need to be entered by the user.

Loans - this sheet includes a detailed weekly amortization table which is used to calculate the monthly interest and capita
repayment amounts that are included on the forecasted weekly income statement and cash flow statement. Loans are
generally repaid on a monthly basis which is why monthly interest & repayments are calculated. Users also need to specify
the day of the month on which loans are repaid which is used in order to allocate monthly repayments to weekly periods.

Report - this sheet includes our unique management report which enables users to compare the forecast and actual income
statements, cash flow statements and balance sheets on a monthly, quarterly and year-to-date basis. All the calculations on
this sheet are automated and users are only required to select the appropriate week in order to automatically update all the
calculations.

Template Assumptions
Business Name

The business name that is entered in cell B4 on the Assumptions sheet is used as a heading on all the other sheets that are
included in the template.
Start Date

The weekly reporting periods on the income statement, cash flow statement and balance sheet are determined based on the
start date that is entered in cell B5 on the Assumptions sheet. Users are therefore able to change the weekly reporting
periods that are included in the template by simply changing the date in a single input cell. The date that needs to be entered
should be the first day of the first week which should be included in the template. All subsequent week end dates are
determined based on this start date.
Quarters

www.excel-skills.com

The number of weeks that need to be included in each of the quarterly totals on the income statement, cash flow statement
and balance sheet can be specified in cells B6 to B10. The number of weeks for quarter 4 is calculated based on the input in
the other 3 cells (total number of weeks for quarters 1 to 3 deducted from 52).

The forecasted income statement, cash flow statement and balance sheet also include the appropriate quarter into which is
week falls above the week end dates in row 4.

Excel Skills | Weekly Cash Flow Template | Forecast vs Actual


Instructions

www.excel-skills.com
Turnover
Weekly turnover projections should be entered on the Forecast sheet in row 5.
Gross Profit %

A weekly gross profit percentage forecast should be entered on the Forecast sheet in row 10. Weekly gross profit amounts
are calculated by multiplying the appropriate weekly turnover amount by the weekly gross profit percentage. The weekly cost
of sales amount is calculated by simply deducting the weekly gross profit amounts from the weekly turnover amounts.
Expenses

The Forecast sheet includes 23 default expense accounts. The default expense accounts can be edited by simply entering a
new description and additional expenses can be added by simply inserting the required number of rows anywhere above the
total row, entering a description for the expense, entering the appropriate weekly expense forecasts and copying the formulas
in the quarterly & annual total columns from one of the existing rows in the Expenses section. The formula in the Tota
Expenses row automatically includes all the new rows that are added to this section of the weekly income statement.
Note: All income & expense amounts should be entered exclusive of any sales tax that may be applicable.
Depreciation

The condition of all fixed assets deteriorates over time and asset depreciation is therefore usually recorded in the income
statement in order to account for the decrease in value of fixed assets. Although depreciation is a non-cash accounting
adjustment and therefore does not have a direct effect on cash flow calculations, we have included depreciation in the
template assumptions in order to account for the tax effect of wear & tear tax allowances.

The depreciation amounts for each weekly period therefore needs to be recorded in row 38 on the Forecast sheet. These
amounts are included separately on the income statement below the Expenses section and added back from the profit or loss
for the period on the cash flow statement.

Note: The depreciation amounts need to be calculated based on the effective depreciation rate for each class of fixed assets
after taking the remaining useful life of the start-up assets into account and applying the appropriate effective depreciation
rates to all capital expenditure amounts. For the purpose of the cash flow projections, it is assumed that the wear & tear
allowances (for income tax purposes) are the same as the depreciation rates.
Working Capital

The inventory, debtors and creditors days assumptions that are specified on the Assumptions sheet are used in order to
calculate the weekly closing balances for inventory, receivables and payables on the balance sheet. We believe that this is
the easiest and most accurate technique that can be used in order to estimate working capital balances at the end of each
weekly period.

The inventory days assumption is used to determine the inventory closing balance on the balance sheet. The number of days
that is specified is used in order to determine how many weeks' cost of sales needs to be included in the inventory closing
balance. The cost of sales balances for all full 7 day periods will be taken from the income statement and the remaining days
will be calculated based on the daily average for the next weeks' cost of sales amount. This calculation approach ensures that
fluctuations in cost of sales are included accurately in the inventory balances on the balance sheet.

Page 5 of 117

Excel Skills | Weekly Cash Flow Template | Forecast vs Actual


Instructions

www.excel-skills.com

The receivables balances on the balance sheet are calculated based on the debtors days assumption. The calculation
methodology is the same as for inventory balances - the turnover amounts for each full weekly period is taken from the
income statement and the remaining days are included based on the average daily turnover amount for the next weekly
period.

The average trading terms that are negotiated with customers can be used in order to estimate the debtors days that should
be entered in the template assumptions. If products are not sold on credit, a nil value should be entered for this assumption
which means that the receivables balances on the balance sheet will all be nil amounts.

Page 6 of 117

Excel Skills | Weekly Cash Flow Template | Forecast vs Actual


Instructions

www.excel-skills.com

The creditors days assumption is used to calculate the payables balances on the balance sheet. The calculation method is
the same as for inventory & receivables but instead of using only cost of sales or turnover, the payables balances are based
on the total of the weekly cost of sales and expenses totals.

The value that is entered for the creditors days assumption should be carefully considered. Even if the average trading terms
with suppliers result in payments being due 30 days after the invoice date, you should remember that a lot of expenses are
usually settled on a cash basis (like salaries & wages). You should therefore not only consider supplier trading terms when
deciding on an appropriate value to enter in this template assumption but also the percentage of expenses and stock
purchases that are settled on a cash basis.

Note: Where the inventory days, debtors days or creditor days values are greater than the number of days which are included
in the template, the appropriate inventory, receivables or payables balances will be based on the daily average of the
associated values on the income statement. This would usually only be the case for the first few weeks that are included in
the template.

Example: If the debtors days assumption which is specified by the user is 30, the receivables balance in the first week on the
balance sheet will be calculated based on the average daily turnover in the first week on the income statement (turnover
amount divided by 7). By the second week, the template would include data for 14 days and the receivables value wil
therefore be based on the average daily turnover for the first two weeks. The same calculation principle would apply to the
3rd and 4th weeks because the total days are still less than 30. The receivables balance in the 5th week would however be
calculated by adding the turnover amounts for weeks 2 to 5 (4 weeks or 28 days) and adding 2 days based on the average
daily turnover for the first week. This principle ensures that fluctuations in turnover does not distort the receivables balance
calculations.
Start-up Balances

This section of the assumptions relates to the balance sheet balances at the start of the cash flow projection period. If you
need to compile weekly cash flow projections for an existing business, it should be simple enough to obtain the opening
balance sheet account balances. Also, if the business is being acquired from another entity, the opening balances should be
entered based on the values that are listed in the acquisition agreement. If the cash flow projections are being compiled for
an entirely new business venture, all the start-up balances should be nil.

Note: All equity and liability balances should be entered as negative values and the total of all the start-up balance sheet
balances should always be nil. We have added conditional formatting to the Start-up balances section on the Assumptions
sheet in order to highlight all the values in orange if the total does not equal nil.
Loan Terms

The loan terms that are entered in this section of the assumptions are applied to the start-up long term loan amount and the
additional loan amounts that are entered in row 26 of the weekly cash flow statement. The loan terms consist of the annua
interest rate, loan repayment period in years, an interest only selection and the repayment date. If no interest is charged on
long term loans, simply select the "Yes" option from the list box and no loan repayments will be included in the cash flow
projections (only the interest that is charged).

Note: The maximum loan repayment period that can be specified is 10 years. Refer to the Loans sheet for a detailed
amortization table which is used to calculate the monthly interest and capital repayment amounts.

Note: Even though this template is based on weekly periods, the loan repayment and interest calculations are compiled on a
monthly basis because most financial institutions require monthly repayments and also charge interest on a monthly basis.
The repayment date which is specified in cell B35 is therefore used in order to allocate all the monthly loan repayments into
the correct weekly periods as can be seen on the Loans sheet.
Taxation
Page 7 of 117

Excel Skills | Weekly Cash Flow Template | Forecast vs Actual


Instructions

www.excel-skills.com

The income tax percentage that is specified in this input cell is applied to the weekly net profit in order to calculate a weekly
income tax provision. We have also assumed that all income tax liabilities are settled on a bi-annual basis (every six months
or more appropriately every 26 weeks) in accordance with provisional taxation principles. The weekly tax amount is therefore
accrued to a provision for taxation and the negative cash flow resulting from the bi-annual payment of income tax will be
reflected in the taxation paid line on the weekly cash flow statement (row 17).

Page 8 of 117

Excel Skills | Weekly Cash Flow Template | Forecast vs Actual


Instructions

www.excel-skills.com

Note: The bi-annual income tax payments are deemed to occur in week 26 and 52. If the actual income tax periods do not fal
within these weekly periods, you can change the week numbers in the first part of the provision for income tax formula in row
18 on the balance sheet and copy the formula to all the weekly columns in this row.

Forecast Income Statement & Cash Flow Statement

A weekly income statement & cash flow statement forecast is included on the Forecast sheet. As we've mentioned before,
users are required to enter the weekly turnover amounts, gross profit percentages, expenses, capital expenditure,
shareholders' contributions and new loan amounts and all the other calculations are automated.

Note: All the rows that require user input have been highlighted in yellow in column A. The weekly amounts in these rows
should be entered but the quarterly & annual totals are calculated.

Note: The complexity of the calculations that are included in the template necessitate including the quarterly totals after all the
weekly periods. You should not attempt to change the default layout of the template. If you want to print the forecast for a
specific quarter together with the quarterly totals, you need to hide all the weekly totals that do not form part of the
appropriate quarter and change the page setup to print the totals on the same page.

Note: The number of weeks that are included in each quarter can be specified on the Assumptions sheet. The quarter which
is displayed above the week end dates in row 4 will automatically be updated.

The interest amounts that are included on the income statement are calculated on the Loans sheet based on the start-up
long term loan balance on the Assumptions sheet, the weekly proceeds from loans amounts that are entered on the cash flow
statement and the loan terms that are specified on the Assumptions sheet.

Note: Interest is calculated on a monthly basis and allocated to the weekly reporting periods based on the repayment day
which is specified in cell B35 on the Assumptions sheet.

The weekly profit or loss, interest and taxation amounts are calculated on the income statement. Depreciation amounts are
entered on the income statement and added back from the profit or loss on the cash flow statement. The interest paid
amount is deducted after being added back from the profit or loss and the taxation paid is calculated by deducting the income
statement taxation charge from the movement in the provision for taxation which is calculated on the balance sheet.

The property, plant & equipment purchases line relates to the acquisition of fixed assets with a useful life of more than one
year. Weekly capital expenditure amounts should be entered as negative values and are added to the property, plant &
equipment line on the balance sheet.

All amounts that are contributed by the shareholders of the business should be entered as positive values in the
shareholders' contributions line and are added to the shareholders' contributions line on the balance sheet.

The loan repayments that are included on the cash flow statement are calculated on the Loans sheet based on the start-up
long term loans balance on the Assumptions sheet, the weekly proceeds from loans amounts that are entered on the cash
flow statement and the loan terms that are specified on the Assumptions sheet. Note that these amounts only include the
capital portion of the loan repayments, not the interest.

Note: Loan repayment amounts are calculated on a monthly basis and allocated to the weekly reporting periods based on the
repayment day which is specified in cell B35 on the Assumptions sheet.

Actual Income Statement & Cash Flow Statement

Actual weekly account balances should be entered in the appropriate rows on the Actual sheet. Users are required to enter
the weekly turnover amounts, gross profit percentages, expenses, interest amounts, capital expenditure and proceeds from
loans amounts. All the other calculations on this sheet are automated.

Note: If you are using one of our accounting templates, the actual account balances can simply be copied from the
accounting template and pasted into the appropriate rows in this template.

Note: The weekly taxation amounts and the provision for taxation amounts on the balance sheet are calculated automatically
by default. These calculations have been added to the actual results in order to make it easier for users to populate these
lines but if the actual results differ from the calculated amounts, you can simply replace the formulas in the appropriate rows
with your own values.

Working capital movements, shareholders' contributions and monthly loan repayments are calculated from the actual weekly
balance sheet balances that are entered on the "Actual results" balance sheet.

Note: All the rows that require user input have been highlighted in yellow in column A. The weekly amounts in all user input
rows should be entered by the user.

The Expenses section of the income statement on the Actual sheet includes 23 default expense accounts. The default
expense accounts can be edited by simply entering a new description and additional expenses can be added by simply
inserting the required number of rows anywhere above the total row, entering a description for the expense account, entering
the appropriate weekly expense account balances and copying the formulas in the quarterly & annual columns from one of
the existing rows in the Expenses section. The formula in the Total Expenses row automatically includes all the new rows that
are added to this section of the weekly income statement.

Note: It is imperative that the expense accounts that are included on the Forecast and Actual sheets are exactly the same,
otherwise the comparison between forecast and actual expense account balances on the management report will not be
accurate. Please ensure that expense items are included in the same rows on the appropriate sheets and that the
descriptions of all expense accounts are exactly the same as the descriptions on the Forecast sheet. Any discrepancies that
may exist will be highlighted on the management report.

Weekly Balance Sheets

The weekly forecast and actual balance sheets are included on the BS sheet. All forecast balance sheet balances are
calculated automatically from the template assumptions and the calculations on the Forecast sheet. The property, plant &
equipment balance is calculated by adding the weekly capital expenditure on the Forecast sheet to the start-up property, plant
& equipment balance and deducting the depreciation amounts that are also entered on the Forecast sheet.

All working capital balances are calculated based on the days that are specified in the template assumptions, while the cash
balance is linked to the closing cash balance on the Forecast sheet. The provision for taxation is calculated from the income
tax line on the Forecast sheet and the assumption is that the entire income tax liability is settled bi-annually based on
provisional tax principles (in weeks 26 and 52).

The shareholders contributions balance is calculated by adding the weekly amounts on the cash flow statement to the startup balance that is specified in the template assumptions, while retained earnings is calculated based on the profit or loss line
on the Forecast sheet. Long term loan balances are calculated on the Loans sheet.

Some of the balance sheet account balances on the "Actual Results" balance sheet require user input while other balance
sheet balances are calculated based on calculations on the weekly income statement & cash flow statement on the Actua
sheet. The items that require user input have been highlighted in yellow in column A.

Note: The Actual balance sheet balances for the first weekly period are linked to the start-up balances that are entered on the
Assumptions sheet. This means that the same opening balances are used for both the forecast and actual balance sheet
balances. All the balance sheet balances in the first weekly period on the Actual balance sheet have been highlighted in light
blue in order to distinguish these cells from the cells that require user input. Users should therefore take care not to replace
the formulas in these cells with values.

Page 11 of 117

Excel Skills | Weekly Cash Flow Template | Forecast vs Actual


Instructions

www.excel-skills.com

The only calculated balances on the Actual balance sheet are property, plant & equipment, cash and retained earnings. The
property, plant & equipment balances are calculated based on the weekly purchases of property, plant & equipment and the
depreciation amounts that are entered on the Actual sheet, the cash balance is linked to the closing cash balance on the
Actual sheet and the retained earnings balance is linked to the weekly profit or loss line on the Actual sheet.

Page 12 of 117

Excel Skills | Weekly Cash Flow Template | Forecast vs Actual


Instructions

www.excel-skills.com

Note: If any of the weekly balance sheets (forecast or actual) does not balance, the appropriate balance sheet totals will be
highlighted in orange. It is important to note that the management report balance sheets will not balance if the balance sheets
do not balance (this is especially true for the Actual Results balance sheet because the forecasted balance sheet is
calculated automatically). If your balance sheet does not balance, check the amounts that you have entered in all the user
input rows.

Forecast Interest & Capital Repayment Amounts

The Loans sheet includes a detailed amortization table which is used for the calculation of the monthly forecasted interest
and capital repayment amounts. The start-up long term loan balance and the weekly loan advances (entered in the
"Proceeds from loans" row on the Forecast sheet) are included in the additional financing column. All interest and loan
repayment calculations are based on the amounts in this column and the loan terms that are included at the top of the sheet
and specified in the template assumptions.
Note: All the calculations on the Loans sheet are automated and no user input is required on this sheet.

The loan amortization calculations can also be compiled for interest only loans by simply selecting the "Yes" option from the
Interest Only list box on the Assumptions sheet. If this loan interest option is selected, the projected cash flow calculations wil
not include any monthly loan repayments. Also note that the maximum loan period that can be specified is 10 years.

Note: Loan repayment and interest amounts are calculated on a monthly basis and allocated to the weekly reporting periods
based on the repayment day which is specified in cell B35 on the Assumptions sheet.

Management Report

The management report on the Report sheet can be used to compare forecast and actual account balances on a weekly,
quarterly and year-to-date basis. All the calculations on the this sheet are automated and the report can be compiled for any
weekly period by simply selecting the appropriate week from the list box in cell M1.

Note: The only user input that is required aside from selecting the appropriate reporting period is the customization of the
expense accounts in the Expenses section of the report. The expense accounts that are included on the Forecast, Actual and
Report sheets should be exactly the same, otherwise the calculations on the management report may not be accurate.

The default expense items on the management report can be customized by simply deleting the rows that are not required or
inserting new rows for the required number of additional expense accounts and copying the formulas in column A to N from
one of the existing rows in this section of the report.

Note: We've added conditional formatting to the cells in column B of the Expenses section in order to highlight expense
account discrepancies in orange. If you therefore notice that one or more of the cells in column B contains an orange cel
background and an "ERR" message, it means that there is difference between the expense accounts that are included on the
Forecast sheet and the expense accounts that are included on the Actual sheet.

Users therefore need to compare the expense accounts in the particular rows on both of these sheets in order to ensure that
the same expenses are included in the same rows on both sheets and that the expense account descriptions are exactly the
same on both sheets. Note that orange highlighting in the Total row on the management report may indicate that all the
expense items on the Forecast or Actual sheet may not have been added to the management report. All of these errors can
be corrected by simply entering the correct expense account description or by inserting the correct number of rows on the
appropriate sheet.

All the calculations on the management report are based on the date that is selected from the list box in cell M1. This list box
includes all 52 weekly periods that are included on the weekly income statements, cash flow statements and balance sheets.
When the user therefore selects a new period from the list box, all the calculations on the management report are
immediately updated.

Page 14 of 117

Excel Skills | Weekly Cash Flow Template | Forecast vs Actual

www.excel-skills.com

Note: The calculations of the quarterly & year-to-date balances are based on the assumption that the 52 weekly reporting
periods constitute 1 full annual financial period and 4 quarterly periods. We therefore recommend that you enter the first day
of the appropriate first financial year that you want to include in the template as the start date in cell B5 on the Assumptions
sheet and that you specify the number of weeks which should be included in each quarter in cells B7 to B9 on the
Assumptions sheet.

Note: After changing the default start date in cell B5 on the Assumptions sheet, you may notice that all the calculations on the
management report result in nil values. These nil values are the result of cell M1 containing a date (the default date that had
previously been selected) which does not form part of the weekly reporting periods (defined by the start date on the
Assumptions sheet) and can be updated by simply selecting a new period from the list box in cell M1. Cell M1 will also be
highlighted in orange and a message which indicates that a new weekly period needs to be selected will be displayed in cel
M2.
