Top 3 Benefits of Oracle Cash Management
With the Oracle Cash Management platform, users can:
1. Reduce Idle Cash
Real-time cash positioning is critical to avoiding bank balance overdrafts and effectively handling liquidity. Oracle Cash Management provides direct access to daily cash flows from existing operational systems and bank reports. Users can quickly assess their daily cash status by currency, bank account, or legal entity, allowing them to forecast their daily cash requirements and analyze their company’s liquidity.
Oracle Cash Management facilitates managing positions across multiple currencies, organizations, and bank accounts. Users can quickly create reusable templates to generate daily cash positions, analyze them at a summarized level, or dive into specific transactions for detailed insights into core accounting information.
Users can execute bank transfers once an accurate cash position and a cash surplus or deficit management method have been determined. Its seamless integration with Oracle Treasury equips teams with robust tools to conduct investment and borrowing transactions in cases of a funding surplus or deficit.
2. Execute Control Over Bank Accounts
Timely reconciliation of bank accounts is essential for safeguarding against unauthorized transactions. Oracle Cash Management delivers robust reconciliation features, empowering users to maintain precise cash balances, detect and resolve discrepancies, handle bank errors, and oversee fraud activity. Automating this process significantly reduces administrative burdens and costs for internal audit and treasury departments.
With Oracle Cash Management, users can effortlessly monitor all bank account balances, compare actual balances with anticipated closing balances, and continuously enhance existing forecasting methods. Oracle’s built-in security framework allows users to grant access to designated bank accounts for specific tasks, ensuring segregation of duties and adherence to corporate governance standards.
3. Meet Cash Obligations for Vital Business Operations
Oracle Cash Management provides direct insight into anticipated cash requirements and projected receipts, allowing swift analysis of organization-wide cash needs and currency risks and ensuring efficient cash utilization and liquidity.
With flexible cash forecasting capabilities, Oracle Cash Management supports multi-currency forecasting across various organizations and timeframes. Using the external cash flow interface and distributed database support, users can generate forecasts combining relevant transaction data from local and remote databases. Various forecast templates can be defined for different purposes and timeframes.
