Abstract

This study calculated the cash flow using the financial information by fiscal year for 25 general hospitals and 23 hospitals, and analyzed the relationship between cash flow and net working capital. The analysis results showed that 73.3% of general hospitals and 83.3% of hospitals did not secure funds required for operating activities by fiscal year. The cash flow types that affect net working capital were expenses not involving cash outflows and changes in borrowings in general hospitals, and expenses not involving cash outflows and income not involving cash inflows and changes in borrowings in hospitals. However, in case of shortage of funds required for operating activities, at general hospital, due to expenses not involving cash outflows being high and income not involving cash inflows being low and resulting in increased borrowing, at hospital, due to expenses not involving cash outflows being high and resulting in increased borrowing. Therefore, for the stability of cash flow in management activities, the adequacy and relevance of the expenses not involving cash outflows need to be reviewed, and it will be necessary to review the appropriate internal policy measures to systematically and rationally manage cash flow in consideration of cash flows.

본 연구는 비영리법인 의료기관이 영업활동에서 자금부족으로 인한 경영위험 상황에 대비하기 위하여 재무적 측면에서의 현금흐름 관리방안을 제시하고자, 비영리법인인 25개 종합병원과 23개 병원을 대상으로 재무정보를 이용하여 현금흐름을 산출한 후, 재무적 측면에서 영업활동에 필요한 자금인 순운전자본과 경영활동에 의한 자금의 동태적 개념인 현금흐름 간의 관계를 분석하였다. 분석결과, 결산연도별 산출지표 중 종합병원은 73.3%에서, 병원은 83.3%에서 영업활동에 필요한 자금인 순운전자본이 확보되지 않았었다. 순운전자본에 영향을 미치는 현금흐름 종류는 종합병원에서는 현금유출 없는 비용과 차입금 변동, 병원에서는 현금유출 없는 비용과 현금유입 없는 수익 그리고 차입금 변동이었다. 그러나 재무적 측면에서 영업활동에 필요한 자금이 확보되지 않았던 경우에, 종합병원은 현금유출 없는 비용인 감가상각비 등이 높고, 현금유입 없는 수익인 준비금 및 충당금 등이 낮아, 금융자금의 차입을 증가하게 되어 영업활동에 필요한 자금인 순운전자본이 낮아지게 되어 재무적 측면의 경영위험 환경이 되었다는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 병원은 현금유출 없는 비용이 높고, 금융자금의 차입을 증가시킴으로 인하여 영업활동에 필요한 자금인 순운전자본이 낮아지게 되어 재무적 측면의 경영위험 환경이 되었다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 경영활동에 있어서 실질적인 현금흐름의 안정성을 위해서는 현금의 유출이 없는 비용의 산정과 이들의 운용 등에 대한 적정성과 타당성 등을 검토해 볼 필요성이 있을 것이며, 현금흐름을 고려하여 체계적이고 합리적으로 자금관리를 하기 위한 적절한 내부정책방안의 검토가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
