Cash Flow Forecasting: Advanced Techniques
The biggest mistake corporate treasury and finance professionals make when cash flow forecasting? “Not making clear the operating assumptions that drive the financial valuation, and then not monitoring the realization of benefits during the integration of the business over time,” says Henry Osti, managing director of Osti & Associates.
Osti, who will speak in AFP’s Advanced Approaches to Valuation Incorporating Unique Cash Flow Risks Webinar on Jan. 7, 3:30 pm ET, says valuating a business is especially difficult today. “The factors that drive the value of a business including cash flow, risk and financing, have all been tremendously impacted by the recent changes in the economy,” he says. “It is critical to understand how to model the impact of these factors in mergers, acquisitions and business valuation.”
