Training on Global Cash Flow Forecasting and Working Capital Management
Course Overview
Effective cash flow forecasting and working capital management are essential for financial stability, operational efficiency, and strategic growth in today’s interconnected global markets. Companies that fail to forecast cash accurately or optimize their working capital cycles face liquidity shortages, higher financing costs, and operational constraints.
This 5-day course equips participants with practical tools and strategies to enhance forecasting accuracy, optimize cash conversion cycles, and manage liquidity across complex and multinational operations. Training covers short- and long-term cash flow planning, working capital optimization, inventory and receivables management, payables strategy, and risk mitigation techniques. Participants will apply concepts through case studies, scenario-based exercises, and real-world examples.
Emphasis is placed on integrating treasury, finance, procurement, and operations functions to create efficient cash management frameworks, improve decision-making, and support sustainable growth. By the end of the program, participants will be able to implement robust forecasting models, optimize working capital, and strengthen organizational financial resilience.
