Taught by DBA financial guru, Keldon Bauer, the class will discuss four Cash Management Keys: Managing the cash flow cycle, Establishing good internal controls for cash, Preparing cash flow projections, Managing excess cash. The discussion will focus on two important areas ofcash flow management: managing inventory and managing and collect- ing receivables. Although essential in any business, cash flow projections are especially important to Kanab and Fredonia area businesses because they are so seasonal. Careful planning can make the difference between making it through the off season. Despite the serious nature of the discussion, Bauer is known at Dixie for his outrageously dry wit that goes along with his bow ties. Business persons can look forward to an enjoyable as well as an informative time at the Tuesday, May 11th workshop. Ccst of the three hour session is $10 per person.
