Keeping a close eye on cash takes centre stage in a downturn. Working capital is squeezed at both ends as the business looks to negotiate better terms with suppliers, and at the same time guard against inevitable customer defaults. The ever-present challenges of central versus local control and getting "one version of the truth" for credit risk and collections become more acute as conditions worsen.

Whether A/R is in shared services or distributed, CFOs need innovative ideas to drive working capital efficiencies to a new level.

In this webcast, you will hear how leading companies such as Cadbury Schweppes, Hewlett Packard and Monster have:

  • Improved their DSO
  • Cut past due A/R
  • Reduced their bad debt reserve
  • Improved dispute resolution and supplier relationships
  • Integrated A/R systems with legacy systems including ERP
