Abstract

This research introduces the implementation for cash flow forecasting system in construction company through a case study. The implemented system shows how to develop overall corporate-level and project-level cash flow forecasting model based on a real business process in construction company. It takes 1 year to implement system. The study proposes the way of system design, process of system design, and considerations of implementation in step by step. Moreover, it shows main screen, limitation and reliability of the system. The proposed model is validated accurate, flexible and simple as a result of comparing actual data to forecasting data for 2 years. This system is easy to approach the employee who don't have any financial knowledge. This research is expected to assist to implement system of cash flow forecasting in construction company.

현금 흐름에 대한 중요성을 강조한 많은 자료들이 있지만, 건설사업에서의 현금 흐름 예측에 대한 방법을 제시해준 자료는 많지 않다. 본 논문은 건설회사의 현금흐름을 예측하기 위한 모델 제시 및 시스템 구축 방법을 제시한 논문으로 건설회사의 회계담당자가 아닌 현업담당자 즉 현장과 본사 직원들이 기존의 업무를 수행하면서 간단히 접근할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다. 재무지식 없이도 사용자들의 시스템 접근성이 용이하고 예측시 발생될 오차에 대한 처리도 사용자가 자동 및 수동으로 사용할 수 있는 시스템 개발 방법을 제시하였다. 또 과거 학자들의 연구 사례와 방법, 그리고 금번 제시 모델에 대한 방법 및 시스템 개발 시 고려사항등도 함께 제시하였다. 또한 실제 개발 및 적용에 1년 동안 추진사례를 예시하여 각 개발 단계에서 시스템 구축 방법 및 문제점도 함께 제시 하였다. 이 논문이 현금흐름을 미리 예측하여 건설회사의 유동성 위기를 미리 예방 하고, 보유한 현금을 투자활동과 재무활동에 활용 할 수 있는 현금흐름예측의 모텔로 활용되기를 바란다.
