6. Treasury Reporting The effectiveness and oversight of the Treasury functions lies in timely reporting to the Senior Management. There is currently a large scope for improvement, notably: Improvements under study: 1. A self-reconciling report for Treasury is under development which replaces 5 reports in the current system. 2. Reports for cash positions generated from SAP eliminating the need for bank parser software saving $ 4000 per month on bank charges. 3. Timely Limit Management Reports 4. Report for Profit & Loss on daily FOREX trades Country Office market rate vs Actual treasury rate UNORE rate vs Actual rate 5. Various automated reports for FAC & Controllers Office(currently manual) 6. Reports on concentration of currency in Country Offices (for oversight purposes and to ensure adequate liquidity) 23
7. Treasury Bank Account Management ISSUE - We have various data related to banks in various places in SAP and they are not synchronized EXAMPLES: Count No. Data Point 501 - House Banks created in SAP (VISION) 1046 - Number of Banks created in BCMS 122 - Number of Closed banks in BCMS 543 - Bank GL Accounts ACTIONS REQUIRED Cleanup and streamline Bank Account & Bank Master Management along with its dependencies like GL accounts, signatories Bank Account Management should capture additional data like Credit Ratings of Banks, Bank Hierarchy, last date of bank review, bank throughput, exceptions Signatories on accounts should be based on roles assignment to the post (through DHR) Options : Invest in BCMS (current) -Home grown solution with little integration Bolt on Solution -Buy Bolt on Solutions like ebam / Overture5 24
8. Summary of Significant Process Changes AS IS Cash Position is maintained outside the system Manual data for Cash Position, Bank entries, trade entries, and excel for MIS Reports created from data outside the system Analysis is cumbersome due to spread of data in various places Limited use of SWIFT. Transactions through multiple gateways like Chase, ebanking portals and the UN TO BE SAP will have reconciled cash balances thereby reducing operational risk and automating daily bank account reconciliation. Note: This is dependent on MT940 from the bank. Manual data entry eliminated to a large extent, thereby eliminating errors and corrections Accuracy of data will ensure quality reporting from the system Analysis possible as all data present within the system More robust rollout of SWIFT at HQ with SWIFT Alliance 25
10. Treasury - Future Opportunities Rollout of Automatic upload of bank transactions to HQ locations and / or Service Centers (non front ended through SAP) Use of SWIFT Services at Country Offices Cash Management at Country office Leverage BI for reporting Positive Pay File for Checks & Wire transfers 26
