The treasury department of your firm is a strong division with the capacity to control all the levers that affect shareholder returns. These teams, however, are frequently ill-equipped, understaffed, and poorly compensated.
The guardians of cash in a company are the treasuries, who have authority over it through 1) the amount retained and 2) its liquidity. The sheer size of the balance sheet and the relative stickiness (liquidity) of the stored assets and obligations are the two levers for this. By ensuring that there is money available, whether it be in the petty cash box or an opportunistic M&A raid, their management of this supports the essential operations of an organization: allowing teams to operate and undertake activities. In addition to facilitating business as usual (BAU) activities, treasuries participate in a company's macro-financial management and supervise the implementation of corporate strategies.
