Introduction

Cash flow and treasury management are both processes that involve managing an organization’s cash. Cash flow is the movement of money in and out of a business over time, Cash flow management is tracking and controlling how much money comes in and out of the business in order to accurately forecast cash flow needs. It’s the day-to-day process of monitoring, analyzing, and optimizing the net amount of cash receipts—minus the expenses. Whereas, treasury management is the strategic planning and execution of an organization’s financial resources. Cash management is a sub-function of treasury management. It is the process of overseeing daily cash flow to maintain sufficient access to working capital. If there’s a risk of cash depletion, comprehensive cash management can make it easier to balance cash flow and replenish funds.

Treasury management optimizes cash flows by implementing efficient cash forecasting techniques, managing receivables and payables, utilizing liquidity management strategies such as cash pooling or centralization, and optimizing the investment of surplus funds to maximize returns while ensuring liquidity for operational. A treasury manager therefore, oversees the cash flow and revenue of a business. They are in charge of the organization’s overall finances, including managing financial risk. Their main job duties are to monitor day-to-day operations while overseeing a long-term financial strategy.

This three days workshop will walk the participants through the nitty gritty of cashflow and treasury management.
