Corporate Cash Flow Forecasting and Liquidity Risk Management Masterclass

Monthly cash flow modelling in Excel that flags liquidity trouble before it arrives — forecasting, credit assessment, debt service cover and international specifics.

The programme

Liquidity problems announce themselves in the cash flow long before they appear in a covenant breach — if anyone has built the model that would show them. This masterclass is that build: a structured approach to monthly cash flow modelling in Excel, from assumptions and formulas through forecast financial statements to the impact on the company’s balance sheet and capitalisation, with output graphs that make the profile legible to management. The cohort then turns the model outward, using cash flow in credit risk assessment: interpreting primary cash drivers, projecting debt service cover and credit needs from non-financial information, and identifying liquidity problems — including those specific to international companies — before they threaten a client’s business.
