This course provides an overview of how operating cash flow can be manipulated and the techniques companies use to make liquidity appear stronger than it is. It covers classification-based schemes, including reclassifying financing activities, factoring receivables, and using supplier finance programs. The course also examines timing-based methods, such as accelerating collections, delaying payments, and short-term window dressing. In addition, it explores transaction structuring techniques and how cash flow can be influenced through prepayments, structured settlements, and other arrangements.
