Business Financial Statements and Tax Returns: Advanced Cash Flow Issues: Working Capital and Fixed Asset Expenditures 2023 - Webinar | Iowa Bankers Association | 4 December 2023 | Virtual Event

This program provides the analytical tools (with case examples) to understand how the working capital cycle affects the borrowing needs of a business in terms of a line of credit, and how the dollar size of the line of credit is related to this cycle. Equally important is to understand how equipment finance needs arise, and how to use financial statements or tax returns to determine historical patterns of capital expenditures and related long-term financing, plus gaps between purchases and financing. This allows the lender or analyst to position your bank to be proactive in helping customers optimize or maximize equipment financing, while minimizing its draining effect on working capital via small purchases (not financed) and down payments.
