What to provide
An approved cash flow forecast, receivables aging, upcoming obligations, and known assumptions.
Starting prompt
Using these approved figures, draft a cash flow meeting brief: three changes, their source rows, decisions needed, and unanswered questions. Do not calculate from missing data or present a forecast as certainty.
Trial case
Include a receivable that has moved beyond its expected collection date. The brief should trace the change to the forecast row and ask for an owner and revised assumption.
Review gate
Finance reconciles totals and assumptions before distribution. Confirm action owners for each collection or spending decision.
How to score the result
Time from data close to meeting brief and number of material errors found in review.
Use the current approved source and keep it available to the reviewer. Check a small set of finished outputs against the previous process before adopting this workflow.
