Working Capital and Debtors Management Course in Paris

Strengthening Liquidity, Cash Flow, and Short-Term Financial Performance

Effective working capital management is essential for maintaining liquidity, controlling financing costs, and supporting day-to-day business operations. Poorly managed receivables, inventory, and payables can tie up cash, weaken profitability, and create unnecessary financial risk.

The Working Capital and Debtors Management training course provides participants with practical techniques for improving cash conversion, credit control, collections, inventory management, and short-term financing decisions. Across five days, participants examine working capital drivers, debtor management, financing options, performance measurement, and strategic decision-making.

The programme combines financial analysis with practical tools, helping participants improve liquidity, reduce cash-cycle inefficiencies, strengthen credit policies, and align working capital decisions with wider corporate objectives.
