Managing Treasury and Financial Risk
New regulatory and compliance requirements.
The mandate to reduce finance costs. Ongoing
economic and financial crises. These factors
have placed unprecedented burden on treasury
departments.
To meet these challenges and still perform at
optimal levels, treasury decision makers want
greater transparency and control over complex
processes associated with managing pay-
ments, cash, liquidity, and risk. At all times,
they must know where their cash is, where it’s
originating, and where it’s needed.
And they need to better understand and
manage potential issues associated with
liquidity, counter parties, and currency.
Best-run businesses are turning to compre-
hensive treasury management software
solutions to help gain and maintain control
over these complex demands. The function
has adequate liquidity to drive growth and
innovation. They can even integrate this
information with their existing enterprise
resource planning (ERP) systems.

Streamlined payment processes reduce cycle
times and costs, while helping to ensure
compliance. However, multiple point-to-point
electronic interfaces, payment standards, and
data formats can increase support costs and
resource demands.
Treasury departments within multinational
organizations face the additional challenge
of complex business operations on a global
scale.
Cross-border payments and transactions
among companies, as well as gathering
and reconciling data from multiple financial
institutions, are “business as usual.”
SAP software for payments and bank
communications can help you meet these
challenges head on.
SAP software for payment and bank
communication centralizes and
optimizes processes – from in-house
banking to corporate-to-bank

Through centralization, SAP software for treasury
and risk management can help save time and
money – while staying compliant. Reduce
programming and maintenance costs with a
natively integrated, standards-based interface.
Realize savings from reducing the number of
external payments by using in-house banking
and netting. Avoid the cost of external cross-
border payments and reduce float and value-date
losses. Optimize working capital through effective
cash pooling across the group, with more
interested earned as cash stays within the group.
In addition, consolidate the number of global
banking relationships and connections by using
multibank gateways. Minimize the number
of bank relations to decrease bank fees and
borrowing costs. Increase the speed of
processing and approvals with automation of
approval workflows, alerts, and escalations.
This helps ensure proper authorization, while
driving compliance with streamlined documen-
tation processes.
Cash flow is based on intragroup and
intergroup payments. By centralizing
these transactions, SAP software for
treasury and risk management can
help optimize payments and bank
communications.

SAP software for cash management and
liquidity is both flexible and customizable.
Decentralize or centralize cash management.
The choice is up to you with SAP In-House
Cash and the SAP Bank Communication
Management applications.

Because SAP software for cash management is
centralized company-wide, you’re sure to see
reduced costs and increased interest income
globally. This fully integrated application
accesses source data from your operational
systems in real time and tracks items from other
SAP applications. It facilitates data communica-
tion between the enterprise and its bank, which in
turn, enhances reconciliation processes and
lowers banking costs.
In addition, it eliminates the inefficiencies of
manual spreadsheet interfaces and slow access
to information to improve liquidity forecasting. By
drilling down to specific transactions that support
cash forecasts, you have ready access to the
data needed to make better liquidity decisions as
it relates to changing market conditions. The
bottom line is improved accuracy of cash
forecasts and reporting. With this information, you
can increase revenues through profitable use of
liquidity surplus and decrease financing costs by
minimizing liquidity reserves.
Complete integration between treasury
applications from SAP and core
accounting systems adds up to more
accurate cash flow forecasting and
more effective liquidity management.
