- Title
Treasury Benchmarking -- What's Getting in the Way?
- Authors
Newman, Kara
- Abstract
This article explores the barriers to benchmarking in corporate treasuries when the metrics of goal setting in this area show clear improvements in financial performance. Research conducted by Thompson Financial and a treasury management magazine revealed that motivation for benchmarking could be driven by evidence linking attention to treasury operations and competitive gains. Other companies are motivated by needed cost controls or client expectations. The four key functions likely to be measured are cash management, working capital management, forecasting and bank relationship management.
