Target Operating Model

Start the day by validating bank and source feeds. Refresh the cash outlook before funding and payment decisions. Close the day by reconciling movements, reviewing exceptions and publishing agreed management measures.

Putting the Model into Practice

A step-by-step approach to implementation.

01 Establish Visibility

Confirm entities, bank accounts, cash classifications and the ownership of each source feed. Validate opening balances and settlement references before publishing a daily position.

02 Connect Planning

Build the rolling cash forecast around the operating drivers in this journey. Pilot approvals, bank routing and exception handling for one representative entity or payment stream.

03 Close the Loop

Reconcile pilot transactions back to bank and source records. Track breaks and forecast variances, assign owners and expand to additional entities once agreed controls pass.
