2021 CFO Study: Working Capital Under Stress Again in 2022

In a recent survey, trade credit insurance company Euler Hermes and Industry Dive worked together to find the answer to the most important question facing senior finance executives as they outline their top priorities for 2022: What challenges stand in the way?

The survey examined how the economic downturn of 2020 impacted cash flows and how receivables risks may have jeopardized business goals. The responses create an image of how finance executives will make changes to working capital management and develop new policies to address projected risks, ensure business continuity and feed potential growth in 2022.

Euler Hermes and Industry Dive present the results of this research in this playbook and examine how trade credit insurance can balance the often competing objectives of maximizing growth opportunities while minimizing receivables risk.
