The old adages that "cash is king" and "you can’t spend profits" still hold true today. But however well-known these sayings might be, it requires a change in mindset to properly implement a cash flow management system that predicts your business's runaway as accurately as possible. Key to this new mindset is understanding the difference between the Statement of Cash Flows, a historical look at the source and uses of cash, and the Cash Flow Statement, which uses transaction history and forward-l

If you want a sales & trading internship , you need previous trading experience. And as the recruiting process has moved up , this problem has gotten worse because you need these “pre-internships” even earlier to have a good shot at the large bank
