A famous scientist once said "the only problem with prediction is that it is about the future". No one understands this better than the treasury professional charged with the critical responsibility of predicting their company's future cash positions, which drive corporate liquidity levels, fund the operating cycle and support capital investment decisions. Performing these forecasts and interpreting variances with any degree of confidence demands solid, competency-based skills, which is the focus of this in-depth, facilitator-led course. The format includes a combination of lecture and practical "hands-on" applications of a number of cash flow forecasting techniques practiced by treasury professionals in this mission-critical role.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify cash drivers in your company
• Apply "how to" techniques for forecasting individual cash flow line items
• Learn statistical techniques for dealing with cash flow uncertainties; both on-going and one time events
• Investigate techniques for both predicting the year-end cash balance and reconciling it to the short-term cash forecast
• Explore how to perform and interpret cash forecast variance analyses

• A quick reference guide to selected cash flow forecasting techniques that were covered in the workshop
• Selected exercises with answers for additional practice and examples
• Simple Excel templates

• Prior experience in cash forecasting will be helpful, but not essential
• Some familiarity wiht financial statement formats, concepts and terminology is necessary
• Bring a calculator
