In today’s economy, more than ever, managing and controlling liquidity and uncertainty (risk) has become paramount. Profits or EBITDA may be business’s ultimate goal but do not help a company meet its obligations. For any business to survive and prosper it must strike the proper balance between profitability, liquidity and risk.
• Recent surveys by the Federal Reserve indicate that banks are still unwilling to lend so “buying” liquidity in the short term will remain difficult and costly.
• Business activity has slowed or has become less certain. As a result, cash flow from operations has declined making it more difficult to pay vendors or others for normal business costs.

If your company is like many others your cash flow “engine” is composed of multiple bank web sites, spreadsheets, emails between subsidiaries and headquarters and compliance to various policies tucked away in 3 ring binders on a dusty shelf. The resulting struggles to identify, capture, and consolidate the relevant cash flows throughout the businesses expose your company to inefficiencies and introduce additional operational risks.

Please join us for an informative session presented by leading treasury specialists where we will go beyond EBITDA to explore why a business strategy based on both liquidity and profit metrics is superior to fixating on just a single metric like EBITDA. Learn how such a balanced approach can enable a company to mitigate its’ exposures to additional market risks and the financial costs of associated with being either over borrowed or under invested.

The session will also describe how to build the business case for change based on:
• The state of bank credit markets, current and future
• The need / costs associated with balancing sources and uses of liquidity
• Treasury’s role: its’ traditional aspects and why it needs to “modernize”
• The benefits associated with changing to a more modern treasury
• Acquiring the technology tools and training that enable success
