Automation of Treasury Management Systems

Today’s market and business climates necessitate treasury professionals to implement automated solutions in order to optimise cash, drive predictable and free cash flow, and improve the bottom line. Automation via a treasury management system is the next logical step for treasuries seeking to gain greater financial transparency and visibility, improved operational efficiency and cost control, and reduced risk. The benefits of treasury automation are being recognised by companies of all sizes - from mid-market companies with relatively straight-forward cash management, funding and foreign exchange requirements through to large multi-national firms with highly sophisticated treasury needs.

The Benefits of Treasury Automation

Reasons why companies decide to automate their treasury functions include:

Improved cash forecasting
Straight-through processing
Managing multiple bank accounts
Increased visibility of cash
Improved management of risk
Regulatory compliance

Rapid business growth, as well as increased competition, has made treasury automation a priority for many corporations. In addition, treasury’s increasing ability to impact the bottom line has resulted in a significant shift in the role and responsibilities of corporate treasury professionals. This shift has brought about a renewed focus on cash forecasting, cash management, interest rate and foreign currency risk management, and overall working capital management.

Risks associated with managing Treasury Functions on Spreadsheets

Corporate Treasuries traditionally makes use of and sometimes totally relies on spreadsheets to capture critical financial information. Spreadsheets are useful tools and a natural part of the way most finance and corporate treasury departments operate, but the flexibility that makes them useful, can also be very dangerous. Spreadsheet errors can cause major problems in three areas:

Errors in the data: incorrect data entry, incorrect specification
Formula and macro errors
Applying an incorrect template

Spreadsheets have major inherent security risks associated with them e.g. in terms of access and who is approved to amend the spreadsheet, the lack of security in temporary spreadsheet files, the lack of audit trails on the development and amendment of spreadsheets. Spreadsheets also do not allow the setting of limits such as exposure limits, transaction limits, rate limits.
