Cash Flow Forecasting
What Has Changed in Forecasting?
Rising interest rates, currency volatility and the threat of recession are driving CFOs to demand more of their forecasts and planning dashboards. Treasury teams must forecast and plan more accurately, for longer durations, and across multiple scenarios. The data science required to perfect cash forecasting requires more complex tools than spreadsheets and manual processes.

Increased Returns on Cash

Protect Future Cash Flows
Future cash flows are vulnerable to currency, commodity and interest rate volatility. Accurate cash forecasting enables more effective hedging as derivatives can be used to hedge a greater percentage of hedged items – foreign currency, commodity and interest rate exposures.
