Tell me about a time when cash is committed without visibility of near-term obligations. What did you do?

I first confirmed the facts and contained the immediate impact. Next, I reviewed the cash forecast, bank balance, payment schedule, and FX position and coordinated the action to review bank balance, expected receipts, planned payments, FX exposure, and liquidity buffer. After verifying the result, I summarized the root cause, preventive control, owner, and follow-up plan so the issue would not recur.
