Corporate cashflow sustainability: essential new tools and practical applications

Learn new concepts and principles, which can be applied on the job immediately to ensure cashflow sustainability of your company

Overview

Modern bridge crossing river

Current practice focuses on cashflow projections, which are short-term in nature and by design. Beyond the projection period, management will not be able to ascertain whether the company has cashflows into the future to support continuing growth.

Cashflow sustainability is not addressed in any corporate finance books or in practice. And yet it is the most important factor for the future of the company. It focuses on the ability of the company to continue its corporate growth indefinitely.

For this reason, the company urgently needs to develop, build, monitor and assess cashflow sustainability. To do so, management and finance leaders need to attain full knowledge of the following new tools, concepts, and principles
