    Definition of cash management

    Dictionary of Banking Terms: cash management
    cash management

    1. financial management technique used by corporate treasurers to accelerate the collection of receivables, control payments to trade creditors, and efficiently manage cash. Large corporations collect funds from many different accounts into a single concentration account, and invest excess funds in the money market. The local accounts are frequently drawn down to zero-funds every day. In disbursing payments to trade creditors, treasurers attempt to control the outflow of funds by timing payments with the receipt of invoices from trade creditors. A frequently used tool in cash management is controlled disbursement of corporate payments to match the collection of accounts receivables against disbursements to trading partners. See also balance reporting; delayed disbursement; lock box; treasury workstation; zero-balance account.
