Cash flow shortfall has proved to be one of the issues facing manufacturing companies in Nairobi. Companies with cash flow problems have witnessed a lot of struggle when it comes to settling their credit commitments whenever they fall due. In some cases, the effect has resulted into extreme losses, low profits, business operation difficulty and high financial costs due to excessive borrowing. The general objective of this study is to determine the effect of cash flow management activities on the financial performance of manufacturing companies in Nairobi. To achieve this objective this study will examine how the three main components of cash flow statement component impact on the financial performance of companies under the scope. Cash flow activities according to Kew et al are cash flow from operating activities, cash flow from investing activities and cash flow from financing activities. To measure the financial performance of manufacturing companies, the study will apply two key financial ratios which include Return on Equity (ROE) and Return on Assets (ROA). Independent variables will be measured using net values of each activity as reported in the cash flow statement. The study will adopt a descriptive research design.
