Managing Institutional Cash Flow

About this Course

As a financial leader at your institution, you carry responsibility for resources that fund the mission — yet cash realities often differ from what the statements suggest. This course equips you to see your true cash position clearly, distinguish accrual reporting from spendable cash, build budgets that account for timing, and forecast disruptions before they become crises. More than that, it equips you to cultivate a "culture of provision" where financial stewardship is shared across your leadership team.
