Long-term sustainable cashflows are necessary
for growth via self-financing. Managers
are more and more frequently evaluated in
terms of the competence and impact with
which they contribute to growing cashflows. To
attain both company as well as personal goals
it is therefore beneficial for every manager to

the evaluation of concrete examples. In this
way, competence in analysing and interpreting
financial data is deepened.
