Dr. Stephen Timme of Finlistics Solutions To Speak At CFO Magazine’s 4th Annual Forum on Working Capital Management: Excellence in Working Capital Management: Strategies for Tapping the Power of Fresh Cash Flow to Boost Revenues and Margins

President of FinListics Solutions to conduct half-day workshop on total working capital management at symposium this November

ATLANTA (May 4, 2005) - Dr. Stephen Timme, president of FinListics Solutions, will address attendees at CFO Magazine's CFO Magazine’s 4th Annual Forum on Working Capital Management Conference, a thought-leadership symposium where experts in finance will discuss the benefits of adhering to best practices in total working capital management during good times and bad. The conference will be held at November 2 & 3, 2005; Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel; Boston, MA.

For over 12 years, CFO Enterprises's conferences and seminars have become the nation's premier educational forums for senior finance executives, featuring an outstanding list of leading CFOs who share insights and best practices with their peers. Each event is tailored to serve the educational needs of finance officers at companies of various sizes. Last year's "Total Working Capital Management" conference drew a large audience of senior executives from large and mid-sized companies. Whenever CFO Magazine asks readers to list their “burning issues,” invariably they point to working capital management. It may not be the flashiest corner of the corporate finance department, but CFOs know that’s where to look for powerful opportunities for process improvement and value leverage. We’re not talking about the mechanics of cash management. Rather, CFOs refer to the “big picture” and the need to drive steady, linear, and healthy earnings momentum—particularly in times of economic volatility. CFOs know that one very important key is reducing the excessive levels of cash tied up in working capital. Unfortunately, this is not something large companies automatically do well. Change requires cross-functional collaboration, and lots of determined diplomacy. At this event, Dr. Timme, a recognized authority on quantifying and communicating the value of corporate investments, along with leading finance executives and expert strategists, will explore topics like:

• Using Cash Flow Forecasts Strategically
• The Keys to Unlocking Hidden Cash
• Speeding Cash Flow and Boosting Internal Efficiency with New Technology
• Customer Revenue Management: The CFO’s Options for Improving Process Efficiency and Controls
• The Search for Meaningful Measures of Working Capital Management
• Tools and Techniques for Driving Down DSO and Boosting Fresh Cash Flow
• The Financial Supply Chain Connection: A Methodology for Linking Supply Chain Management Business Processes, Activities, and Tasks to Working Capital Management
