Kyriba Cash Management and Liquidity Planning Training Course

Course overview

Treasury teams need a reliable view of cash before they can fund subsidiaries, invest surplus balances, negotiate credit facilities, or respond to payment disruption. Yet many organisations still rely on delayed bank statements, spreadsheet consolidations, inconsistent account hierarchies, and forecasts that cannot be traced back to operational assumptions. This course addresses the practical challenge of configuring and using Kyriba to turn bank connectivity, cash positioning, and forecast data into controlled daily liquidity decisions.

Participants work through the Kyriba cash management and liquidity planning workflow: account structures, bank statement ingestion, transaction classification, cash positioning, intercompany visibility, short-term cash forecasting, forecast-versus-actual analysis, and liquidity scenario modelling. They learn how to investigate exceptions, standardise forecast inputs, define forecast models, apply liquidity rules, and build management-ready dashboards and reports. Particular attention is given to the controls that make reported cash trustworthy, including data-quality checks, user roles, approval workflows, and reconciliation of source-bank data.

The course is delivered through instructor-led demonstrations in a Kyriba-style training environment, guided configuration exercises, and a multi-entity treasury case study. Participants build a practical liquidity operating pack containing a cash-positioning workflow, forecast input template, variance-analysis method, scenario model, dashboard specification, and implementation action plan. The deliverable can be adapted for use with their own bank landscape, legal-entity structure, and treasury reporting cycle.

The programme is designed for treasury and finance professionals who already work with cash data, banking information, or forecasts and need to apply Kyriba more effectively in a controlled operating environment.

Course objectives

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Configure Kyriba account groups, entity hierarchies, and cash positioning structures for multi-bank visibility
• Interpret bank statement data and transaction classifications to produce an accurate daily cash position
• Build short-term liquidity forecasts using operational drivers, manual inputs, and forecast model assumptions
• Perform forecast-versus-actual variance analysis and document corrective actions for forecast owners
• Model liquidity scenarios for funding gaps, surplus deployment, delayed collections, and payment shocks
• Design Kyriba dashboards and reports for daily treasury operations and management liquidity reviews
• Apply user-access, workflow, data-quality, and audit-trail controls to cash management processes
• Produce a Kyriba liquidity operating pack with process maps, reporting requirements, and implementation priorities

Benefits of attending

Target competencies

Who should attend

• Treasury Managers — who need dependable cash visibility and liquidity decisions across banks and entities
• Cash Managers — who run daily positioning, funding, and surplus-cash activities
• Treasury Analysts — who prepare forecasts, investigate variances, and maintain treasury reporting
• Finance Managers — who provide forecast inputs and require clearer links between operations and liquidity
• Treasury Systems Analysts — who configure Kyriba workflows, data structures, and reporting requirements
• Financial Controllers — who need controlled cash reporting, traceable data, and reliable forecast governance

Requirements and prerequisites

Participants should have practical experience in treasury, cash management, financial planning, or bank-account administration. They should understand core concepts including bank balances, value dates, cash positioning, short-term cash forecasting, intercompany funding, and forecast-versus-actual variance. Familiarity with spreadsheet-based cash forecasts and the organisation’s bank statement formats is helpful. Prior Kyriba use is beneficial but not essential; the course explains the relevant Kyriba workflows from first principles. Participants do not need programming, API development, database administration, or prior system-implementation experience.

Training methodology

Each day combines instructor-led Kyriba workflow demonstrations with guided configuration and analysis exercises. Participants use a realistic multi-entity treasury case containing bank statements, forecast submissions, payment commitments, and funding constraints. Small-group workshops examine data-quality failures, forecast variances, and liquidity scenarios before participants defend their proposed actions in a treasury review. The final day converts course work into an application plan, identifying required data, process owners, reports, controls, and priorities for the participant’s own Kyriba environment.

Course outline

Day 1: Kyriba Cash Management Foundations and Daily Positioning

• Kyriba Cash Management navigation and treasury workspace structure
• Bank account master data, legal entities, and account group hierarchies
• Bank connectivity concepts and statement acquisition workflows
• SWIFT MT940 and ISO 20022 camt.053 statement data fields
• Transaction classification rules and cash flow categorisation
• Daily cash position creation by entity, bank, currency, and value date
• Cash-position exceptions, stale balances, and data-quality investigation

Workshop: Participants configure a multi-entity account structure and produce a daily cash position with documented exceptions requiring investigation.

Day 2: Cash Visibility, Controls, and Treasury Reporting

• Intraday balances, opening balances, and available liquidity interpretation
• Cash pool and intercompany cash visibility structures
• Kyriba user roles, entitlements, and segregation-of-duties controls
• Workflow approvals for cash data, forecasts, and treasury actions
• Audit trails and evidence for cash reporting review
• Dashboard design for daily treasury operations
• Scheduled reports, report filters, and management distribution routines

Workshop: Participants design a daily treasury dashboard and control checklist for a regional cash management team.

Day 3: Liquidity Forecast Design and Data Collection

• Short-term liquidity forecasting horizons and forecast operating cadence
• Forecast model structures for direct and indirect cash flow inputs
• Operational forecast drivers for receivables, payables, payroll, tax, and debt
• Forecast input templates, ownership, and submission deadlines
• Manual adjustments, recurring flows, and assumption governance
• Currency-level forecasting and foreign-exchange liquidity considerations
• Forecast consolidation across entities, regions, and bank accounts

Workshop: Participants build a rolling 13-week liquidity forecast model and assign input owners for a simulated corporate group.

Day 4: Forecast Accuracy and Liquidity Scenario Analysis

• Forecast-versus-actual comparison methods in Kyriba
• Variance thresholds, root-cause codes, and escalation rules
• Timing variance versus amount variance analysis
• Forecast accuracy metrics and forecast-owner scorecards
• Scenario modelling for delayed collections and accelerated payments
• Funding-gap analysis and short-term borrowing requirements
• Surplus-cash scenarios, investment capacity, and concentration decisions

Workshop: Participants analyse a forecast miss, identify its operational causes, and model funding and surplus-cash scenarios for the following month.

Day 5: Operating Model, Optimisation, and Application Planning

• End-to-end cash management and liquidity planning process mapping
• Treasury calendar design for daily, weekly, and monthly liquidity activities
• Kyriba configuration requirements versus process and policy requirements
• Data remediation priorities for accounts, statements, and forecast inputs
• Key performance indicators for cash visibility and forecast reliability
• Management liquidity review packs and decision narratives
• Kyriba adoption roadmap, testing approach, and change-management actions

Workshop: Participants complete and present a Kyriba liquidity operating pack and 90-day improvement plan for their simulated organisation.
