treasuryfunktioner

Treasury functions, or treasuryfunktioner, refer to the set of activities within an organization that manage financial resources, liquidity, funding, and risk exposure. The aim is to ensure sufficient liquidity, minimize funding costs, and protect the firm from market volatility.

Core activities include cash management and forecasting, liquidity planning, and bank relationship management; debt issuance and servicing; and placement of excess cash. The function also covers risk management, such as hedging interest rate and foreign exchange exposure and monitoring liquidity risk.

Treasury operations handle payments, settlement, reconciliations, and data flows between banks and the enterprise resource planning system. Treasury policy, controls, and governance establish approval processes, segregation of duties, and compliance with accounting standards and regulatory requirements.

Technology supports decision making through treasury management systems and ERP integration, enabling cash forecasting, liquidity dashboards, and scenario analysis. Common metrics include cash conversion, net debt, liquidity coverage, financing costs, and forecast accuracy.

In large corporations, financial institutions, and public sector bodies, a robust treasury function contributes to solvency, operational continuity, and efficient capital structure.
