Workspace Treasury Board How much have we got today, how much will we have, and what is due to the banks — the three questions a treasurer opens with, on one screen. 11 stepsOpen View Daily Cash Positions The daily snapshot. Kept rather than computed on demand: re-deriving yesterday’s position from today’s transactions gives a different answer once a back-dated correction lands. 17 stepsOpen View Cash Forecast Receivables at their EXPECTED date, payables at the chosen one, payroll, tax and debt service. Versioned, because accuracy cannot be measured without keeping the forecasts that were wrong. 19 stepsOpen Records Cash Forecast Lines Confidence is the difference between a forecast and a wish: a receivable from a customer who has never paid late is 95%, a sale that has not been signed is 30%. 14 stepsOpen Records Liquidity Categories A treasurer’s categories are operational — customer receipts, supplier payments, payroll, tax, debt service, capex — and one GL account can feed several of them. 13 stepsOpen Records Cash Pools Money in eleven accounts earns nothing while an overdraft in the twelfth costs eight per cent. Physical pooling moves the money and creates real intercompany loans; notional pooling only nets the interest. 14 stepsOpen Records Pool Participants Sweeping to zero is not always right: a payroll account needs a float, which is what the target balance is for. 15 stepsOpen View Pool Sweeps What moved, and the intercompany position it left behind — the thing an auditor will want reconciled to the counterparty. 15 stepsOpen Records Debt & Instruments Loans, facilities, deposits and derivatives. A facility’s undrawn headroom is the most important liquidity figure a company has and lives nowhere in an ordinary ledger. 16 stepsOpen View Debt Service Schedule The largest and most certain line on a cash forecast, and the part most often kept in a spreadsheet on the treasurer’s laptop. 14 stepsOpen Records Debt Covenants A promise to a lender, tested quarterly. Breaching one makes the whole facility immediately repayable — testing it before the bank does is the entire reason to hold it here. 17 stepsOpen Records Covenant Tests Headroom in the direction that matters: how much worse it could get before it breaches. 13 stepsOpen View Debt Maturity What matures in each band — the refinancing risk picture, and the classification a balance sheet needs. 15 stepsOpen Records Guarantees & Letters of Credit Not on the balance sheet and absolutely on the risk register: a performance bond that expires unrenewed loses the contract it secured. 15 stepsOpen
