1 - 1.2 CPE This course explores cash flow forecasting in detail. The course begins with a description of how to evaluate a current cash flow forecasting system, going beyond short-term forecasts. We discover that intermediate-term forecasting methods, like the essentials, are not very complicated.
We discuss how to analyze a cash flow system, its methods, users, and technology. We also explore forecasting techniques that use statistics. We look at the common spots in an overall forecasting system where things can go wrong and what can be done to avoid these errors.
Learning Objectives
- Identify approaches, models, and other tools used in cash flow forecasting.
- Identify steps and tools for evaluating and measuring how effective a forecasting system is or is not.
- Discover how to develop an effective approach to incorporating local system sources and simple statistical models into a cash flow forecasting system.

Cash flow forcasting is not an exact process and at best estimates can be in the ball park. After taking this course I will spend my energies seeking out more financing and less time stressing over the immeasurable. Take the course and see why.

The last 50% of the course is helpful if you are not familiar with forecasting. Most of the course is too vague though. With an hour course, it would have been better to focus on a few concepts to cover a little more in depth.

This course is a good reference for anyone doing cash flow forecasting on a regular basis. I like that the presenter included examples from his own prior experience. This made the lesson more concrete.

Very relevant coverage even for treasury professionals such as myself who have extensive experience in cash flow forecasting. The reference to the use of statistical techniques was very helpful.

This is for old companies with antiquated systems. Start ups don't have these types of constraints. The slides didn't help much with the exam - you had to listen to half of the presentation.

I like how the instructor emphasises that forecasts are or cannot be 100% accurate due to the variables. To review the variances to find out when or why the forecast went off track.

This along with the beginner's cash flow forecasting course are good sources of information to nail down the cash flows and cash positions of your organization.
Really enjoyed the course work and found it to be quite insightful, video was quite long and a little dry in my opinion.

The course is great, however, the video sometimes disconnect in the middle and have to wait and drag to make it work

Good overview at a high level which progressed to providing examples that demonstrated application in scenarios.
Some part of the video were difficult to following along with the powerpoints. Overall, great material.
