Course details
Learn how companies manage their cash flow in this course that explores both the operating cash flow cycle and the investing cash flow cycle, using real-world examples to calculate a company’s working capital funding gap. Explore the important strategies companies can use to optimize their working capital accounts, examine the longer-term investments such as sustaining or expansionary capital expenditures, and find out how to assess the payback time on a project and look at the return on investment. Finally, combine what you learned and produce a cash flow statement to compare key metrics such as net income, EBITDA, cash flow from operations, and free cash flow. The course looks at things from both the lender's perspective and the borrower's perspective, so you'll have a full picture as a complete credit analyst of how to forecast and optimize cash flow for a business.
