509 - Cash Flow Forecasting: Tools and Techniques
In this session we will discuss the best approaches and will compare typical bottoms-up approaches with top-down approaches. Other topics we will cover include what an effective forecasting system should look like, where you might go for help, and why thinking of an integrated forecasting systems makes sense. We will also look into the whole "mystique" of cash flow forecasting and why many senior managers are not satisfied with their forecasting systems. Come with questions; we'll see if we have the answers.
