About this episode
Why do big companies collapse? And how can corporate finance professionals spot the warning signs before it’s too late?
In this episode of Corporate Finance Explained, we explore the most common causes of corporate bankruptcy and financial distress, backed by case studies of Lehman Brothers, Toys “R” Us, WeWork, and more.
Learn how finance teams use metrics like interest coverage, working capital trends, and debt ratios to assess risk, and how FP&A and treasury roles are critical in crisis management.
