Our Approach to Treasury Management

ü Full financial appraisal, including review of the balance sheet.

ü Evaluation of both the local and wider environment when formulating a unique strategy.

ü Constant monitoring of strategy and contact with client promotes a proactive approach.

Treasury management is the management of cash and working capital, including both short term cash and long term funds. To understand the full picture and identify all the issues it is essential to do a thorough financial appraisal, including a detailed analysis of the balance sheet.

When approached by a new client a thorough financial appraisal is undertaken. This identifies the client’s current position, taking into account the structure of the balance sheet and the relative position of both debt and investments (where relevant).

In addition to the financial appraisal, a compliance review is undertaken. This involves reviewing the Council’s documentation, comparing it with the exact requirements of statutes and regulations and providing an independent assessment.

From the initial financial appraisal, the base position can be identified and a unique strategy is agreed. To formulate this strategy Butlers uses a ‘three pronged approach.’ This is depicted below.

This approach identifies how changes in any one area affects the others. It takes into consideration local issues and how these affect the Council’s goals and assists in formulating the unique strategy. Regular strategy meetings and contact by phone ensures the strategy is monitored and reviewed constantly to enable any changes in circumstances to be taken into account.
