Banking Relationships
Information
Many companies operate in splendid isolation when it comes to managing their banking relationships. What is "best practice”? How do other companies arrange things? A key area where companies are often under/over exposed is to their bankers. What constitutes “too many” banks, how many is “too few”? Are you paying too much for your banking services? This course will investigate current banking practices and suggest ways that you can reduce your cost base and improve the flow and quality of the information to and from these financial institutions.
