CTC Guide to Treasury Metrics
Treasury metrics are hard to find. Only 50% of companies measure their treasury's performance according to AFP research. But more want to, and there are multiple trends that are forcing more treasuries to begin to track their performance. As treasury plays an increasingly strategic role in the organization, its visibility grows and with it senior management and Board scrutiny. Finally, the economic environment has shined a spotlight on treasury's traditional activities of managing cash. Boards and senior management want greater visibility into liquidity, demanding new measures as a result. This CTC Guide explains the trends behind the search for treasury metrics, outlines multiple approaches to creating a treasury scorecard or dashboard and includes real-life examples of dashboards and scorecards that companies use. It also offers helpful hints on how to begin building your own treasury scorecard.
