Cashflow actuals and forecasts are monitored on a daily basis by the BPP Group’s central treasury function. The focus is on 18-week cash flow forecasts and updates are made to key stakeholders as required. The minimum UK cash position of the Group from Mar20 to Mar21 was £11.5m, which was in March20.
