What This Session Is About:

Cash flow forecasting is supposed to support decision-making, liquidity management, and risk control.

In practice, it often means:

• Chasing business units

• Cleaning bad data

• Explaining misses

• Maintaining complex models nobody fully trusts

In this live panel debate, we ask the uncomfortable question: When does cash flow forecasting actually add value, and when is it simply not worth the effort?

The Format: Panel Debate. This is not a presentation webinar. It is a moderated debate with:

• One skeptic

• One believer

• One technology expert

Each gets equal podium time. Each brings real experience. Each is challenged. The audience decides the verdict.

Key discussion points include:

• When cash flow forecasting makes sense
• When it does not
• How much forecasting is “enough”
• Where most forecasts fail
• What role systems really play
• How to improve usefulness, not just accuracy
