In this course we explore some popular approaches to cash flow forecasting. We assume participants have basic experience or familiarity with their organizations’ cash flow forecasting. In this course we differentiate between two types of forecasting techniques.

First, we identify and explore the major methods used in cash flow forecasting. We ill profile each type of method and show examples of the method’s use.

Next, we explore the common models that can be used in a cash flow forecasting system. We  identify the data items needed for each model and discuss potential errors, how the model can be integrated into the overall forecasting system.

We review an overall cash flow forecasting system, showing how methods and models can be integrated. Note that all methods and/or models may not be used in our example. Participants are able to download all the models discussed in the course.

Course Key Concepts: Cash flow forecasting methods, Cash flow models, Cash forecasting tools, Cash forecasting framework, Statistical techniques for cash flow forecasting

Learning Objectives
  • Explore cash flow forecasting methods and the typical work environments that are more useful for each method.
  • Recognize the situations that can call for one or more cash flow forecasting models.
  • Identify key forecasting sources and potential problem areas associated with each method.
  • Discover ways to develop “work-arounds” for forecasting problem areas.
  • Recognize forecasting tools that can help augment an overall system.

I appreciate the course. I didn't find it the "most" clear-cut summary, but I commend the amount of information shared for a 1 hour course.
