How Better Working Capital Management Can Increase Your Borrower's Shareholder Value

On Demand Course

Instructor: Dev Strischek

Duration: 1 HR

What You'll Learn

Lenders, accountants, and suppliers are in an excellent position to use their knowledge to serve as effective financial advisors to their borrowers. They have long known that expanding inventories to attract more customers and easing credit terms to entice their customers to buy the inventory can tie up cash flow as inventory turns more slowly and receivables take longer to collect. Showing a client how a faster cash conversion cycle—cash to inventory to receivables back to cash—improves the client’s cash flow means the client can also improve loan repayment chances. The other beneficial result is that working capital management also boosts shareholder value.

Topics covered in this session

Working capital management and the cash conversion cycle
Drivers of shareholder value
Discounted cash flow to project shareholder value
Working capital management as the fastest acting driver of shareholder value
