Wasike Clinton, Asiimwe Prisca


Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between cash management practices and organizational growth in Bugisu Cooperative Union (BCU), one of Uganda's oldest and most significant agricultural co-operative organizations. The study specifically examined how cash flow planning, cash budgeting, cash control mechanisms, and working capital management influence the financial performance and growth trajectory of the Union. A correlational and causal research design was employed, with data collected from 94 respondents comprising management staff, finance officers, and board members of Bugisu Co-operative Union. Primary data were gathered through structured questionnaires and key informant interviews, while secondary data were obtained from the Union's audited financial statements for the period 2017-2023. Descriptive, correlation, and regression analyses were conducted using SPSS version 25. The findings revealed that cash flow planning (r = 0.714, p < 0.01), cash budgeting (r = 0.681, p < 0.01), cash control (r = 0.658, p < 0.01), and working capital management (r = 0.697, p < 0.01) all exhibit significant positive relationships with organizational growth. The regression model explained 64.7% of the variance in organizational growth (R² = 0.647). The study concluded that effective cash management is a critical determinant of organizational growth in BCU and recommended the adoption of more sophisticated cash flow forecasting tools, strengthened internal controls, and professional treasury management practices
