Covid Cash Strategies – Conversations with CFOs

During the session we will discuss and share insights from a new report compiled by Sidetrade and KPMG.

The report identifies that three key areas of focus for CFOs were –Digitisation, Transparency and Culture. It highlights the Top 5 actions taken by CFOs to manage cash better during the Covid-19 pandemic, and how to improve visibility of working capital.

We interviewed CFOs across UK sectors to understand:

  • How they managed through the first lockdown, and
  • How management of working capital and cash flow forecasting helped them navigate these challenging times
