THE VALUE OF TREASURY MANAGEMENT

How does expanding the scope of
treasury to include cash, risk, payments, and working capital increase its value to the enterprise?
Treasury plays different roles in different organizations, but many companies, particularly global organizations and those with complex funding requirements, have found value in making treasury a more strategic player in cash and liquidity management. In looking more closely at what treasury has to offer, it’s apparent that its value goes beyond just greater operational efficiencies.

 

 

“Organizations are looking for proactive cash management.
They want to see how corporate activities are being funded
and how debt is being managed at all times.”

 

It seems that more and more demands are being placed on treasury these days.
