Course Overview

The main purpose of cash flow forecasting is to make the most out of available cash in the future. Field professionals use cash flow forecasting to organize cash management tasks, planning cash concentration transfers, funding disbursement accounts, and deciding on short-term investments and borrowing. Despite its significance, estimating cash flow is still an inexact science, mostly because so many assumptions must be made. This workshop is designed to give participants an overview of the skills required in an exceptional forecaster and the best practices in the field. It explains the forecasting process and differentiates between its different types. Finally, 3 different simulations and a case study are added to give participants the chance to practice the acquired knowledge.
