Focus on best practice

When times are tough, it is easy to look for quick fixes rather than optimal long-term solutions.  But best practice exists for a reason - to achieve the best results for you and your business partners. 

Supplier finance is a good example of an evolving best practice solution which benefits all parties.  In this month's Corporate Finance article, we examine how supplier finance works, discuss the processes involved in implementing a supplier finance programme and also provide a checklist for those considerig such a programme.

Good cash management practice is also easily forgotten when security, liquidity and yield are all scarce. In this month's Cash Management, we look at the different types of company cash and discuss how categorising cash can enable treasurers to make more effective investment decisions.
