INTRODUCTION

Cash management refers to a broad area of finance involving the collection, handling, and usage of cash. It involves assessing market liquidity, cash flow, and investments. In banking, cash management, or treasury management, is a marketing term for certain services related to cash flow offered primarily to larger business customers. It may be used to describe all bank accounts (such as checking accounts) provided to businesses of a certain size, but it is more often used to describe specific services such as cash concentration, zero balance accounting, and automated clearing house facilities. Sometimes, private banking customers are given cash management services. Financial instruments involved in cash management include money market funds, treasury bills, and certificates. Cash management essentially means dealing with an organization's cash so its use provides the most value to the business. This can mean planning to keep the right amount of cash on hand as well as making plans for the cash the company does not need to have available for business operations. Cash managers plan for, protect, and invest cash assets. Basic parts of planning for efficient cash management include knowing how much cash should be on hand, efficiently handling cash transactions, and investing any surplus cash in securities that will grow the value of the company's money.
