The global working capital playbook
Turn global payment complexity into greater cash control
Working capital targets are set globally, but executed across regions, entities, suppliers, currencies, and systems.
That can create a gap between how finance plans to manage cash and when cash actually leaves the business.
The global working capital playbook gives enterprise finance teams a practical framework to optimize DPO, improve cash flow visibility, and set global payment guardrails that account for local realities.

- How to find gaps between target and actual DPO
- How to compare contracted terms with actual payment behavior
- How to set global working capital targets that work locally
- How to build a 30-, 60-, and 90-day view of AP obligations
- When to preserve cash and when paying sooner creates value
- How to identify the payment exceptions that need finance's attention
- How to turn this year's payment data into next year's working capital priorities
Who it's for
- Treasury and finance leaders managing cash across multiple entities, regions, or currencies
- AP directors and global process owners standardizing payment practices across ERPs
- CFOs and finance leaders setting enterprise-wide working capital targets
- Finance teams balancing global policy with local payment realities
