For many, cash has always been a priority. But today, with access to debt and equity markets increasingly tough, cash is receiving additional attention. Irrespective of the financial health or trading outlook of the company, the benefits of prudent cash management and cost reduction are obvious.
Many CFOs and corporate treasurers know how to manage their cash. Most will consider squeezing working capital, optimising tax policies or liaising with lenders to increase the flexibility of their financing arrangements. But few will have in-depth experience of putting pressure on all of these levers at once, when unstable markets make traditional methodologies harder to apply.
The knock-on consequences can be significant if not recognised at the beginning. This means that money is left on the table.
