The study adopted a mixed research method with the use of both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Explanatory survey research design was used and a sample of 200 respondents was selected from among TPC employees who included financial management officers (Accounting and Finance Staff) and Corporation Executives at the Headquarters, Zones and Branches (out of the population of 400 targeted respondents) of which 194 respondents’ questionnaires were complete and used in the analysis. The selection followed both a stratified and random sampling methods and by the use of Slovenes formula in arriving at the sample size. Questionnaire and interviews were used to collect primary data while secondary information was collected using documentary review, and the quantitative analysis was undertaken using SPSS Version 22 tool. Findings revealed that cash management affected the financial performance of TPC. Furthermore, findings revealed a positive and significant relationship between cash management which is an important element of working capital management and the public sector financial performance. This study concludes that cash management had more positive effects on the financial performance of TPC and, thus, requires appropriate management. The study also concludes that there is a positive and significant relationship between cash management and public sector financial performance. The study recommends that the management of TPC should strengthen the aspect of appropriate cash management techniques and the Internal Control System (ICS) of the entity so as to keep the entity intact and achieve positive financial performance.
