Unlocking Cash Flow and Liquidity for 2025: Optimizing Your Cash Conversion Cycle

Join panelists from the Financial Executives Network Group (FENG) and the Cash Management Leadership Institute (CMLI) as they discuss the relationships between operating cash flow and liquidity by embedding both AP and AR processes into the cash conversion cycle.

Panelists will discuss the importance of the cash conversion cycle and:

• How disconnected AP and AR functions can stifle cash flow and create “cash flow leakage”
• Why robust operating cash flow is crucial to manage liquidity in times of economic uncertainty, especially when you bank may say “no”
• How to build a plan for 2025 that optimizes your cash conversion cycle by creating “success” metrics across each component of working capital.

What you will learn:

• The importance of the cash conversion cycle and its impact on business stability, growth and access to capital
• How disconnected AP and AR functions hinder cash flow and generate both real and opportunity costs

How to assess your current state and adopt practical steps to optimizing AP and AR
