In reply to Baggins. I love he uses the word “potentially” That is subjective. As far as the word desireable. It depends on the context it is used; noun, verb, adjective.

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

In reply to Shawn M Prince. The Institute has been “knee-jerking” their way to obscurity. Shame their leadership is so arrogant they can’t see they’ve been driving themselves and the profession off a cliff. What they are trying to do now is too little, too late.

Just got more confirmation that this is really real from one of the more modern architects of the valuation acceptance, appraisal waivers and PDC crap. They are in fact using the CBG in all of these products and in all underwriting.
