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.

Project future cash flow, debt service cover and credit needs, including from non-financial information.

Who teaches this

Practitioners, not presenters.

Led by practitioners who hold, or have held, the seats this programme prepares you for: group treasurers and heads of asset–liability management, chief risk officers, heads of credit and capital management, and former central-bank supervisors who examined the very frameworks they now teach. Between cohorts the same people advise banks on those frameworks, so what you learn is what is being defended in front of boards and regulators today.

What the bench brings

  • ALCO practice and treasury policy
  • Funds transfer pricing design and restructuring
  • IRRBB measurement: EVE and NII sensitivity
  • Liquidity risk: LCR, NSFR and contingency funding
  • Behavioural modelling of deposits and mortgages
  • Balance-sheet forecasting for executive committees

Where they have practised

Current and former practitioners — people who hold the seat today alongside those who have held it.

Sectors: Banking & financial services · Professional services · Central banking & supervision · Insurance

Regions: Africa · the Middle East · Europe · Asia · the Americas

How they teach

  • Live case studies from real institutions
  • Modelling labs and balance-sheet simulations
  • Regulator-style challenge sessions
  • Group problem-solving on realistic institutional cases
  • Knowledge checks and a personal action plan

Cohorts are kept small so every exercise is worked on the participants’ own situations — in person or live virtual.
