Today’s business environment is marked by political, economic and regulatory uncertainty. In this increasingly complex climate, corporate treasuries play an integral role in managing financial risk and advising on key strategic decisions.

Treasury Management FAQs
Treasury Management within a business organisation supports the management of all financial activities that contribute to outcomes associated with performance and financial risk management objectives. Treasury management considers a number of key business activities which fall into six broad categories:
- treasury framework and governance
- financial risk
- funding risk
- liquidity and cash risk
- treasury operational risk
- treasury reporting.
Within a business organisation, Treasury Management seeks to identify financial market and operational risk to the financial performance of a business, then align a group of risk mitigation strategies to effectively manage the outcomes. Adverse financial market or operational risk can have an impact to financial performance when measured against the strategic and forecast financial objectives of the business. Treasury Management seeks to smooth variances in expected financial results by managing the fluctuations.
Treasury Risk Management can improve business performance and financial results when aligned to both the strategic objectives of the business, and the risk appetite and risk tolerance communicated to management from its Board or Risk oversight committee. Equally, a poor treasury management strategy executed in isolation can have adverse financial outcomes to an organisation. For effective treasury risk management purposes, it is important to align both business strategy and treasury management strategy.
Treasury Management operations represent the core defence mechanism for a business’s financial wellbeing for treasury related risk management activities. Under approved treasury or financial risk management policy directives representing a business’s Board or Risk oversight committee, Treasury Management operations ensure that treasury risk management activities are undertaken within the guidelines set. This provides a high level of governance oversight for the business’s financial market risk management and operational risk activities.
