Treasury management (or treasury operations) entails management of an enterprise's financial holdings, focusing on [1] the firm's liquidity, and mitigating its financial-, operational- and reputational risk. Treasury Management's scope thus includes the firm's collections, disbursements, concentration, investment and funding activities.
In corporates, treasury overlaps the financial management function, although the former has the more specific focus mentioned, while the latter is a broader field that includes financial planning, budgeting, and analysis. In banks, the function plays a slightly different, more integral [2] role, managing also the link between the institution and the financial markets. In both, there is a close relationship with the financial risk management area. [3]
A company's treasury operation, typically, is under control of the CFO or Vice-president / Director of Finance; and in larger entities is under a dedicated Treasurer. Operations are handled on a day-to-day basis by the organization's treasury staff, controller, or comptroller. [4]
