They may have originated an investment, a commitment to operate given or received, a bank credit, etc. In all cases<br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>flow</strong> will be a particular behavior that should be identified.<br />

It is to analyze:<br />

Techniques <strong>of</strong> movements.<br />

Means <strong>of</strong> payment (case, , bills, transfers, etc.) ins<strong>of</strong>ar as <strong>the</strong>y influence <strong>the</strong> movement <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>flow</strong>; rules <strong>of</strong><br />

movements <strong>of</strong> funds Bank registration (dates <strong>of</strong> value);<br />

The habits <strong>of</strong> partners (customers, suppliers, etc.);<br />

Time <strong>of</strong> <strong>flow</strong> <strong>of</strong> funds (<strong>the</strong> ' float');<br />

The assessment <strong>of</strong> movements.<br />

The purchasing power <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> currency instability alters <strong>the</strong> value <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> movements. In this regard on account <strong>of</strong> its<br />

variation over time (inflation) and space (exchange rate risk).<br />

The frequency <strong>of</strong> movements.<br />

It will distinguish <strong>the</strong> movements 'permanent' (final as an investment, or repetitive as a business expense-related),<br />

and <strong>the</strong> 'transitional' (at sporadic or seasonal nature) movements, i.e. cyclically activity.<br />

3 - The nature <strong>of</strong> <strong>flow</strong>s and <strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong> banking services.<br />

Any monetary problems such as management <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Treasury <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> company is dependent on <strong>the</strong> institutional factor<br />

that constitutes <strong>the</strong> banking system. Financial institutions ensure <strong>the</strong> <strong>flow</strong> <strong>of</strong> funds between companies <strong>of</strong> groups. In<br />

addition, <strong>the</strong>y have a fundamental role in financing <strong>the</strong> activity <strong>of</strong> firms acting as sponsors, lenders, or 'relay'<br />

temporary. It has been said that <strong>the</strong> <strong>cash</strong> management was closely subject to <strong>the</strong> quality <strong>of</strong> Bank-enterprise relations.<br />

Still need to know and use <strong>the</strong> services that one is entitled to expect <strong>of</strong> its bank.<br />

At best, it will never go beyond a fair compensation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> net gains that <strong>the</strong> firm allows him to achieve. To be able<br />

to enjoy <strong>the</strong> services rendered and <strong>the</strong> need to negotiate, <strong>the</strong> contractor must, <strong>the</strong>refore, assess <strong>the</strong> gains from <strong>cash</strong><br />

<strong>flow</strong> passing through <strong>the</strong> Bank<br />

The analogy with inventory management models is <strong>the</strong>refore facing serious difficulties. First, we notice that <strong>the</strong><br />

management methods used inside <strong>the</strong> company are not as easy to implement <strong>the</strong>ir simplifying assumptions <strong>of</strong> reality<br />

could leave it hoped. This is due to <strong>the</strong> fact - analytical strength set apart - that <strong>the</strong>y do not correspond to <strong>the</strong> concerns<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Treasury’s manager. The transfer policy does not have this central role, and <strong>the</strong> choice <strong>of</strong> a short-term funding<br />

is based on serious forecast. Then, <strong>the</strong> employee approach which consists in extracting <strong>cash</strong> from <strong>the</strong> rest <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> life<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> company management, if it is attractive and convenient in terms <strong>of</strong> analysis remains not less perfectly arbitrary<br />

and dangerous.<br />

Indeed, managers believe implicitly that a balance exists between <strong>the</strong> <strong>flow</strong>s, and simply <strong>of</strong>fer to make pr<strong>of</strong>itable <strong>the</strong><br />

management in determining what should be retained in <strong>the</strong> form <strong>of</strong> <strong>cash</strong>, and what it takes place. Also, <strong>the</strong>y reduce<br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>cash</strong> management optimization <strong>of</strong> a species-titles by appropriate transfers stock. This policy is based on <strong>the</strong> idea<br />

that "it is prepared to sacrifice pr<strong>of</strong>its to have a better liquidity situation."<br />

On <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r side, we will attach to demonstrate that a policy that makes every effort, to achieve sync stream inputs<br />

and outputs <strong>of</strong> funds, improves both liquidity and pr<strong>of</strong>itability.<br />
