Programme Objective
- Learn what cashflow sustainability is about
- Understand the flows and interrelationships among financial statements in respect of the 2 key cashflow engines.
- Understand and apply the components of the Cashflow Sustainability Framework
- Appreciate the importance of shareholder value and its drivers
- Understand what drives cashflow sustainability for the going concern assumption to be upheld,

- Apply a 5-step approach to trend cashflow statement analysis

Programme Outline
Current accounting & finance practice focuses on cashflow projections, which are short-term in nature and by design. Cashflow Sustainability focuses on the future; the ability of the company to continue its corporate growth indefinitely. But this cannot happen overnight.
The company needs to develop, build, monitor and assess cashflow sustainability. To do so, management need to address the following:
a) Economic Resources Approach to Accounting (ERAA),
b) Lagging & leading indicators (typically, Financial Limits to Growth (FLTG) and 2-level Sales Analysis (TLSA)),
c) V.I.S.A. (Volatility of P&L Impairment of assets; Sustainability of operating cashflows; Adequacy of funding resources) Approach to Financial Management,
d) Cashflow return on working capital,
e) Period & Trend Cashflow Statement Analysis, and more.
An integration of these new and existing concepts and principles would enable cashflow sustainability to be better understood and managed, for the benefit of all stakeholders, especially the discerning shareholders.
This course clearly explains these new concepts and principles, which can be applied on the job immediately to ensure cashflow sustainability of your company.
The essence of corporate cashflow sustainability covers the following topics:
a) From Entity Concept to Cashflow Sustainability
How cashflow sustainability can help ensure that the entity journeys toward existence in perpetuity in furtherance of the entity and going concern concepts.b) Shareholder value and V.I.S.A.The elements of shareholder value and how each plays a significant role in enabling the company’s perpetual existence. And how V.I.S.A. establishes the general financial health of the company.c) The Economic Resources Approach to Accounting (ERAA)Analysis of the ERAA Framework and how it helps build, monitor, and assess a company’s cashflow sustainabilityd) Marketing & Sales’(M&S) interface with Accounting & Finance (A&F)How both M&S and A&F must work together, hand in glove, to build cashflow sustainability e) Capital structure, leverage, and risksRelationship between capital structure, leverage and risks and their impact on and implications to financial planning, operational performance, and shareholder valuef) Leading & lagging indicators- using lagging indicators to uncover what have gone wrong
- applying leading indicators to forewarn what could go wrong, providing financial guard rails, and protect sales growth from being too aggressive, which could lead to financial disaster
g) Period cashflow statement analysisApplying a 7-step approach to analyse the period cashflow statement, to unlock cashflows for corporate growth, and have a fuller appreciation of where cashflows are heading, and finallyh) Trend cashflow statement analysisApplying a 5-step approach to analyse trend cashflow statements to assess the company’s cashflow sustainability.Training Methodology
