Using cash flow modelling can assist your Board, Committee of Management or executive monitor the financial health of your sporting organisation and undertake modelling and scenario planning.
A cash flow model can provide a detailed understanding of an organisations financial position, including its income, expenditure, investments and debts. A cash flow model can be used to project forward, considering different scenarios and possibilities and assisting an organisation to plan for the future.
The Office of Sport’s Cash Flow Modelling Tool has been developed specifically for State Sporting Organisations and clubs to use.

- The Tool is housed within an Excel spreadsheet and can be downloaded to use offline.
- Before you start, you will need to download and read the Cash Flow Modelling Tool user guide.
- It is recommended that you use the Tool in conjunction with your financial or accounting staff or volunteers.
Cash flow modelling is a common method of using current financial information and data to scenario plan for the future.
