Cash Flow and Strategic Cash Flow is important to learn as Cash Flows are from the collection of the Sales done during the period and strategic Cash flow are to automate the the invoicing and payments through software so that the cash flows are available for the businesses at a very short conversion cycle. Cash Flow management and Investment of excess cash is the responsibility of the Treasurer or the CFO/CEO but controller can be involved in this processes and can contribute to it by preparing the Cash flow statement and monitoring the investments with the yield and informing the CFO/CEO of the company on the effective and efficient use of the cashflow and how the Cash is managed for the operations of the businesses. This module explains the Cash Flow and the Investment Strategy very well and also the Handout is useful as a reference material
