With increasing competition, rising cost of materials, and client demands for higher quality products at lower prices, CFOs and finance executives of manufacturers in Thailand are expected to balance a number of strategic priorities. Typically, these include top-line growth, increasing profits, optimising cash flow and ensuring legal and regulatory compliance.

While increasing revenue and profits are often considered the key priority, CFOs and company leaders should ensure that cash flow remains at the heart of their decisions and processes – ensuring a stable platform for a sustainable business. A focus on cash flow should encompass all areas of the CFO agenda, including understanding the true cost of products to increase profitability, and being aware of how to optimise the cash flow impact of tax implications on your supply chain.

Join us for an interactive seminar focusing on the key challenges and best practices for manufacturing organisations in Thailand and how a focus on cash flow can drive improvements in both cash and profits, as well as the latest transfer pricing, tax & legal developments that can impact your business.

• - Transfer pricing and valuation of goods – the impact of Thailand's updated transfer pricing regulations and customs valuation on supply chain planning
