Overview

An essential financial issue that is routinely overlooked is working capital. This mix of short-term assets and liabilities can absorb a remarkable amount of funding without management even realizing what is going on. Working Capital Management discusses how to reduce the adverse funding effects caused by working capital, including specific recommendations on how to manage cash, receivables, inventory, and payables. The course also addresses the operational characteristics that will allow a business to function with zero working capital and characteristics of different types of asset-based lending.
