While different market sectors have different cash flow dynamics, there are common cash management issues that affect all organisations to some degree. To prepare you for these issues the course examines the basic building blocks of cash management from the domestic perspective. Then, through a series of case studies, it shows how these basic principles apply to the complexities of international cash management.
