Course Overview
Models supporting cash flow analysis and financial distress fail quietly, and usually at the worst moment. The audit trail behind financial distress matters as much as the decision itself. Where the wider financial and banking practice agenda is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. Participants gain a realistic view of what cash flow analysis and financial distress costs and what it returns. This programme builds this area of financial and banking practice from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. It is designed for mixed groups, so that financial distress is examined from more than one functional angle. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a control framework for cash flow analysis and financial distress as they go. Improvement in financial distress stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on the financial and banking practice capability ready to put in front of a decision maker.
