Managing Treasury and Financial Risk

New regulatory and compliance requirements.

The mandate to reduce finance costs. Ongoing

economic and financial crises. These factors

have placed unprecedented burden on treasury

departments.

To meet these challenges and still perform at

optimal levels, treasury decision makers want

greater transparency and control over complex

processes associated with managing pay-

ments, cash, liquidity, and risk. At all times,

they must know where their cash is, where it’s

originating, and where it’s needed.

And they need to better understand and

manage potential issues associated with

liquidity, counter parties, and currency.

Best-run businesses are turning to compre-

hensive treasury management software

solutions to help gain and maintain control

over these complex demands. The function

has adequate liquidity to drive growth and

innovation. They can even integrate this

information with their existing enterprise

resource planning (ERP) systems.

ditions by analyzing multiple risk categories.

Streamlined payment processes reduce cycle

times and costs, while helping to ensure

compliance. However, multiple point-to-point

electronic interfaces, payment standards, and

data formats can increase support costs and

resource demands.

Treasury departments within multinational

organizations face the additional challenge

of complex business operations on a global

scale.

Cross-border payments and transactions

among companies, as well as gathering

and reconciling data from multiple financial

institutions, are “business as usual.”

SAP software for payments and bank

communications can help you meet these

challenges head on.

optimizes processes – from in-house

banking to corporate-to-bank

Through centralization, SAP software for treasury

and risk management can help save time and

money – while staying compliant. Reduce

programming and maintenance costs with a

natively integrated, standards-based interface.

Realize savings from reducing the number of

external payments by using in-house banking

and netting. Avoid the cost of external cross-

border payments and reduce float and value-date

losses. Optimize working capital through effective

cash pooling across the group, with more

interested earned as cash stays within the group.

In addition, consolidate the number of global

banking relationships and connections by using

multibank gateways. Minimize the number

of bank relations to decrease bank fees and

borrowing costs. Increase the speed of

processing and approvals with automation of

approval workflows, alerts, and escalations.

This helps ensure proper authorization, while

driving compliance with streamlined documen-

tation processes.

Cash flow is based on intragroup and

intergroup payments. By centralizing

these transactions, SAP software for

treasury and risk management can

help optimize payments and bank

communications.

SAP software for cash management and

liquidity is both flexible and customizable.

Decentralize or centralize cash management.

The choice is up to you with SAP In-House

Cash and the SAP Bank Communication

Management applications.

The applications provide an overview on actual

cash position per current day, the next few

days, and weeks to come. This allows analysis

of short- and midterm cash flow.

You can also pinpoint and optimize liquidity by

individual departments, subsidiaries, business

subunits, or organizations.

Consolidation of data from third-party or legacy

systems can help link systems of different

subsidiaries and regions. As a result, duplicate

data collection and retention are eliminated.

Also, automating data aggregation enables

real-time integration of different source

systems.

For added convenience, the applications

support internationally recognized formats

for electronic banking – including transfers

of account statements for the previous day,

partial-day account statements, and lockbox

statements.

Because SAP software for cash management is

centralized company-wide, you’re sure to see

reduced costs and increased interest income

globally. This fully integrated application

accesses source data from your operational

systems in real time and tracks items from other

SAP applications. It facilitates data communica-

tion between the enterprise and its bank, which in

turn, enhances reconciliation processes and

lowers banking costs.

In addition, it eliminates the inefficiencies of

manual spreadsheet interfaces and slow access

to information to improve liquidity forecasting. By

drilling down to specific transactions that support

cash forecasts, you have ready access to the

data needed to make better liquidity decisions as

it relates to changing market conditions. The

bottom line is improved accuracy of cash

forecasts and reporting. With this information, you

can increase revenues through profitable use of

liquidity surplus and decrease financing costs by

minimizing liquidity reserves.

Complete integration between treasury

applications from SAP and core

accounting systems adds up to more

accurate cash flow forecasting and

more effective liquidity management.
