CASH FLOW I

Will the borrower generate enough cash to repay our loan? In order to answer this question, we must be able to both construct and analyze the firm’s cash flow statement.

In this one-day seminar, participants will first have the opportunity to fully understand, both intuitively and practically, the construction of UCA® format cash flow statements. Participants will then discuss the basic analytical techniques that can be applied to these statements in order to assess a potential borrower’s creditworthiness.

THE FOCUS: 

• How to define the term “cash flow".
• How to properly construct and understand a UCA® cash flow statement.

This is the first in a three-course series of cash flow classes being offered by RMA MN.

IN THIS COURSE, WE WILL COVER:

• The meaning and importance of cash flow
• The meaning and importance of cash flow to a banker
• The calculations, limitations, and adjustments of traditional cash flow analysis
• The logic and mechanics of UCA® cash flow statements
• The three major lessons of UCA® cash flow statement analysis
• The key questions that should always be asked regarding any UCA® cash flow statement
• The limitations that must be addressed when using computerized UCA® cash flow statement software
• A discussion of key UCA® cash flow statement terms and their meanings

PARTICIPANTS: All business lenders, credit analysts, loan reviewers, lending managers and bank presidents. Participants who plan to take Cash Flow II are assumed to have either taken Cash Flow I or acquired, through other means, a solid understanding of how a UCA® cash flow statement is constructed.

RECOMMENDATION: To complete your understanding of Cash Flow, consider taking CFII (02/20/20) and CFIII (04/14/20).
