Regardless <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> method chosen, it has yet to define <strong>the</strong> key <strong>of</strong> transactions between banks. Therefore, <strong>the</strong> Chief<br />
Financial Officer must, for each store (BU1’s or BU2’s), compare <strong>the</strong> services rendered to <strong>the</strong> benefits that removed<br />
<strong>the</strong> Bank from its relationship with <strong>the</strong> company. According to <strong>the</strong> nature and volume <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> movements <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Bank<br />
will be naturally different. The company will better measure what to expect from its banks that it would know what<br />
it <strong>of</strong>fers. Therefore comparison and negotiation <strong>of</strong> Bank conditions necessarily through <strong>the</strong> evaluation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> benefit<br />
that removes every banker <strong>of</strong> its activities with <strong>the</strong> company. To monitor <strong>the</strong> level <strong>of</strong> remuneration <strong>of</strong> each store,<br />
<strong>the</strong> Chief Financial Officer will establish a "trading account".<br />
3.2.2 - OPERATING ACCOUNT MEASURES THE COMPANY'S OFFER TO ITS BANKERS.<br />
This account determines <strong>the</strong> balance <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> transactions between <strong>the</strong> company and each <strong>of</strong> its bankers. After setting<br />
out <strong>the</strong> general outline <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> establishment <strong>of</strong> such an account <strong>of</strong> operation.<br />
1 - Theoretical establishment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> banks-to-business transactions operating account.<br />
This account is established from <strong>the</strong> journal <strong>of</strong> Bank, excerpts, scales <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>oretical banking conditions and quarterly<br />
interest.<br />
(a) The preliminary operations <strong>the</strong>re are five:<br />
1. Inventory and analysis <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> existing conditions in effect.<br />
2. Assessment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> realized movements (or realize).<br />
3. Determination <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> number <strong>of</strong> operations actually resulting in charge handling fees incurred by <strong>the</strong> banker<br />
(treatment manual or automated operations).<br />
4. Average calculation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> credit balance reporting period (sum <strong>of</strong> balances divided by <strong>the</strong> number <strong>of</strong> days<br />
in <strong>the</strong> period).<br />
5. The inventory <strong>of</strong> all <strong>the</strong> fees paid to <strong>the</strong> banker during <strong>the</strong> same period (bank charges <strong>of</strong> discounted, bank<br />
charges on financial notes, interest expense, commission <strong>of</strong> movements, etc.).<br />
(b) The establishment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> account itself.<br />
The essence is not to quantify <strong>the</strong> exact cost <strong>of</strong> an operation (manipulation <strong>of</strong> a check, bank transfer or o<strong>the</strong>r...), no<br />
more than to precisely assess <strong>the</strong> average cost <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Bank's resources, but to reach a mutual agreement to a<br />
reasonable compromise to get an idea <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>it margin <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Bank and monitor future developments. This<br />
assessment can be made by only three assumptions:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The cost <strong>of</strong> a transaction for <strong>the</strong> Bank (<strong>cash</strong>ing <strong>of</strong> a check, issuance <strong>of</strong> a transfer,...);<br />
Average cost <strong>of</strong> capital for <strong>the</strong> Bank (cost <strong>of</strong> a ready franc);<br />
The average interest rate applied to <strong>the</strong> uses <strong>of</strong> funds (average selling price).<br />
From <strong>the</strong>se assumptions <strong>the</strong> construction <strong>of</strong> operating account becomes possible:<br />
<br />
<br />
Side <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> revenue <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Bank, it includes all charges, charges various fixed, as well as income resulting from<br />
<strong>the</strong> float from <strong>the</strong> days <strong>of</strong> value and those corresponding to <strong>the</strong> re-use <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> balances <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> company;<br />
On <strong>the</strong> side <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> expenditure incurred by <strong>the</strong> Bank, found <strong>the</strong> costs <strong>of</strong> financing <strong>of</strong> appropriations used by<br />
<strong>the</strong> company (discount, discovered, etc.) as well as expenses arising from <strong>the</strong> processing <strong>of</strong> transactions<br />
(<strong>cash</strong>ing check transfer, etc.).<br />
