Receivables Finance: The State of the Art – ITFA and TFR Masterclass, Paris

ITFA and TFR are organizing a masterclass on the new supply chain finance standard definitions and an overview of recent industry developments. The event will be held in Paris on Wednesday, 25 May, 2016.

As Sean Edwards explains, ITFA’s very own Chair, financing trade receivables has never been more exciting, more dynamic and more full of possibilities than it is now. It has also never been more confusing. Our masterclass aims to cut through the different terms, jargon and techniques to give a full understanding of the market and push the boundaries of what is possible and what is not.
