Treasury Management
Treasury management is the strategic administration of an organization’s financial resources, focusing on optimizing liquidity, managing cash flow, and mitigating financial risks. It involves the efficient handling of cash and investments, ensuring sufficient liquidity to meet short-term obligations while maximizing returns on excess cash. Treasury management also encompasses risk management activities, such as hedging against interest rate and foreign exchange risks, and managing debt to optimize borrowing costs. Additionally, it includes maintaining robust bank relationships, ensuring regulatory compliance, and leveraging technology to enhance financial oversight and operational efficiency.
