About course

The "Cash Flow Challenges in Projects" workshop is presented by the Saudi Contractors Authority in collaboration with Be Training Center, and the certificate awarded is accredited by the Saudi Contractors Authority. The workshop was held at the Future Projects Forum.

The "Cash Flow Challenges in Projects" workshop offers a unique opportunity to explore the key challenges faced in managing cash flow in the construction and large project sectors. In today's business world, cash flow is a critical element for the success of any project, as it serves as the lifeblood that ensures operational continuity and meets financial obligations. Contractors and managers often face difficulties in maintaining a balance in project cash flow, which can lead to delays or even the failure of the entire project. This workshop aims to highlight these challenges and provide practical solutions to address them, with a focus on understanding cash flow as a strategic tool for forecasting financial risks.

The workshop begins with a comprehensive introduction to the concept of cash flow, explaining how to calculate project cash flow through analyzing revenues and expenses. Participants learn how to prepare cash flow statements for a project, taking into account external factors such as price fluctuations and economic changes. The workshop also covers common challenges such as liquidity shortages due to delayed payments from clients or unexpected cost increases. For example, in large construction projects, delays in material supply can affect cash flow, requiring strategies for effectively managing project cash flow.

Among the main topics discussed are advanced financial analysis tools that help monitor project cash flows, such as forecasting models and financial scenarios. Experts share their practical experiences during the workshop, enabling participants to understand how to apply these tools in real-life contexts. Additionally, the workshop covers the role of modern technologies in improving cash flow, such as project management software that integrates with accounting systems to provide real-time data on project cash flow.

The workshop is presented at the Future Projects Forum, which brings together a group of experts and specialists to discuss future challenges. This forum provides an ideal environment for networking and learning, where participants can exchange experiences on managing project cash flows.

The workshop includes interactive sessions where participants analyze real case studies related to cash flow challenges. For example, a case study about a construction project suffering from cash flow imbalance due to contractual disputes. Participants learn how to use tools like cash flow curves to forecast potential shortages and make corrective decisions. The importance of proactive financial planning to ensure stable cash flows throughout the project life cycle is also emphasized.

As for the certificate, it is issued by the Saudi Contractors Authority and accredited by them, adding significant professional value to participants. This certificate acknowledges their competence in handling cash flow challenges and can help enhance their careers.
