<strong>the</strong> good following system <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> company’ accounts inside <strong>the</strong> bank get for <strong>the</strong> treasurer a plus value that allows for<br />

<strong>the</strong> treasurer to work on extra <strong>cash</strong> or Idle <strong>cash</strong> as previously explained when it comes to paying <strong>the</strong> supplier earlier<br />

or on <strong>cash</strong> to have <strong>the</strong> financial advantage aside. For that, <strong>the</strong> company’s relations are based on <strong>the</strong> bank’s account<br />

and <strong>the</strong> way <strong>the</strong>y are managed.<br />

The fact that a small change or difference between <strong>the</strong> days <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> in<strong>flow</strong>s and out<strong>flow</strong>s could influence <strong>the</strong> whole<br />

system <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> company, a small space <strong>of</strong> negotiation is allowed between <strong>the</strong> company and its banks. Although, <strong>the</strong><br />

negotiation is not allowed for all kind and types <strong>of</strong> companies more that it’s allowed only for few ones that make<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>it on <strong>the</strong> field or make high movement on <strong>the</strong> market. A process like that, is not easy to make, especially when<br />

<strong>the</strong> company such as IWACO; a distributer <strong>of</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r company. The reason behind, is that <strong>the</strong> company gain more<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>it than <strong>the</strong> contracted called (commission) when <strong>the</strong>y get to pay on <strong>the</strong> right time by <strong>cash</strong>, and to make that<br />

possible to happen, <strong>the</strong>y get <strong>the</strong>ir management on a high level but too risky and sensitive for any kind <strong>of</strong> movement.<br />

But <strong>the</strong>n. The financial managers are quiet to be asked on <strong>the</strong> WHY than <strong>the</strong> HOW.<br />

Negotiating with banks new extra lines obliged <strong>the</strong> company to make more pr<strong>of</strong>it and to show on <strong>the</strong> market field<br />

stronger and solid. Yet, to make such a thing possible to happened is by moving inside <strong>the</strong> bank’s account all <strong>cash</strong><br />

that <strong>the</strong> company needs, but <strong>the</strong>n such a decision should be taken based on <strong>the</strong> financial studied well before getting<br />

into <strong>the</strong> negotiating with <strong>the</strong> banker.<br />

3.2 - THE COSTS OF BANKING SERVICES.<br />

It is necessary that each bank is remunerated according to <strong>the</strong> reality <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> services it renders to <strong>the</strong> company in its<br />

<strong>cash</strong> management. A global balance <strong>of</strong> transactions between <strong>the</strong> company and each <strong>of</strong> its bankers is <strong>the</strong> way to<br />

ensure that <strong>the</strong> balance is reasonable for both interested parties.<br />

3.2.1 - OFFER OF THE COMPANY TO THE BANKERS.<br />

There are two ways to work with banks:<br />

The company deals with each separately, pulling <strong>the</strong> best out <strong>of</strong> competition.<br />

Alternatively, <strong>the</strong> company forms around it a kind <strong>of</strong> "club" <strong>of</strong> banks complying with certain standards, with<br />

which it develops toge<strong>the</strong>r its financial policy, which is <strong>the</strong> case for <strong>the</strong> IWACO Company.<br />

The first solution does not expect a lot <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> banking system, particularly in times <strong>of</strong> hardship. On <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand,<br />

<strong>the</strong> second solution provides more effective support to company.<br />

The 'Bank pool' is considered to be a group <strong>of</strong> banks familiar with <strong>the</strong> company and its problems that under <strong>the</strong><br />

umbrella <strong>of</strong> a 'leader', <strong>of</strong>fers a range <strong>of</strong> served as wide as possible at all times. Here virtually, <strong>the</strong> company works<br />

both with a 'pool' and banks 'non pool ". Moreover, <strong>the</strong> entry or exit <strong>of</strong> a partner is always possible depending on <strong>the</strong><br />

services that it can or can no longer make to society. Similarly, <strong>the</strong> relative shares <strong>of</strong> each bank inside <strong>the</strong> pool remain<br />

not fixed once and for all, but change for <strong>the</strong> same reason. The assignment <strong>of</strong> operations between banks BMCI,<br />

bmce Bank and AWB's 'pool' and 'outside pool can be two systems:<br />

<br />

<br />

Assignment to each bank a percentage <strong>of</strong> corporate (movements <strong>of</strong> <strong>flow</strong>) costs, or,<br />

Allocation to each store a percentage <strong>of</strong> revenues for <strong>the</strong> company (credit movements).<br />

From <strong>the</strong> point <strong>of</strong> view <strong>of</strong> <strong>cash</strong> <strong>the</strong>se two systems are equivalent, because ultimately <strong>the</strong> expense movements are<br />

always equal income movements, and vice versa.<br />
