Working Capital Optimisation and Cash Flow Management

This course will enable you to

• Look at various aspects of the supply chain including commercial terms, discount structures, payment scenarios, and rights of lien and asset ownership

• Monitor and analyse stock to avoid it becoming a liability
• Consider the use of the demand chain, such as commercial terms, compliance to these terms and credit rating agencies
• Understand the reverse supply chain, the "green agenda" and corporate social responsibility

About the course

In the modern financial world it is vital to appreciate the complex relationships between any organisation's many functions. These relationships need to be understood right from when strategies are "rolled out" regarding cash flow through to when cash is actually received or paid.

The course explores the way working capital optimisation and cash flow management works through supply and reverse supply chains, inventory, and demand chain transformation.
