Cash may always be king, but in 2020, it was also emperor, czar, and dictator. For companies of all sizes, in almost every industry, carefully managing cash flows was the only way to stay afloat. Some companies responded to falling revenues and tight credit markets by simply cutting costs wherever possible. Others built better visibility into and understanding of corporate cash flows. The resulting insights were critical to survival in 2020, but they also positioned these businesses for a competitive advantage as the economy recovers.

The three winners of the 2021 Alexander Hamilton Awards in Liquidity Management prove the long-term benefits of significantly improving cash management and cash forecasting.

  • Australian property management company Charter Hall had more than $5 billion in cash and available undrawn credit facilities, but managing these funds required a great deal of manual effort. The company built a scalable and highly automated transactional banking structure, augmented a cash pooling arrangement, and developed real-time cash analytics and cash flow forecasting processes.
  • In March 2020, Holiday Inn Club Vacations deployed a software solution that automates cash positioning, forecasting, and transaction reconciliations, and began utilizing virtual accounts to streamline liquidity management.
  • Microsoft’s cash management team collaborated with many other groups to develop a cloud-based tool that strengthens visibility, automates workflows, and improves user access controls for information about intercompany loans.

Join this Treasury & Risk webcast as treasury leaders in each of these organizations discuss how they developed their successful projects and describe their lessons learned.
