Overview:

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. This session will explain how to advise clients on the benefits of effective working capital management to operating cash flow and to shareholder value.

Why you should Attend:

First, the key elements of stronger working capital management are disclosed and demonstrated:

cash conversion cycle measured by cash turnover (days cash outstanding, inventory turnover (days inventory outstanding), receivables turnover (days receivable outstanding) and accounts payable turnover (days payables outstanding)
- industry statistics to compare borrower with its peers
- alternatives for improving each of these measures
monitoring borrower’s relative performance in accelerating cash conversion cycle
Second, the methodology for calculating shareholder value is explained:
discounted cash flow projection employing these factors
- revenue projections
- tax rate
- after-tax profit margin
- working capital investment
- capital asset investment
- weighted average cost of capital
determining relative impact of each of these factors on shareholder value

Finally, better working capital management of the cash conversion cycle is shown to be the most expedient way to increase shareholder value.

Areas Covered in the 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
