Managing working capital in the business without additional borrowing is a core focus now as rates continue to rise. Optimising existing liquidity and liquid assets to generate working capital where required in the business is an area of intense focus for many treasurers. In inflationary environments, where receivables might increase in value but decrease in volume, optimising and accelerating cash cycles for working capital also is an option. In this session, treasurers discuss their strategies to facilitate a greater flow of working capital and identify opportunities to release sources of liquidity to areas of the business at the point of need.   

Celebrate and help give a voice to a new class of treasurers who are leading transformation within their organisation and the broader industry. Hear fresh ideas and how the next generation of treasurers are pushing the boundaries of our industry.

‘Without cash forecasting, bankruptcy is possible’, was the stark view of one treasurer when asked why forecasting is important to include on the agenda. Whilst that is an extreme scenario, the comment underscores the value of accurate cash forecasting in the business as an essential tool of visibility into the future flows of working capital for business units across the company. Forecasting comes in many forms, from basic spreadsheets to chunky TMS systems, to sophisticated AI powered software that has predictive capabilities as to when and where cash will be received in the business.  In uncertain times, with so many market variables that can alter the forecast, the art of prediction is ever more scientific and vital. Here we hear how treasurers are building and fine tuning systems for forecasts and the benefits visibility brings to the business.
