In corporates, treasury overlaps the financial management function, although the former has the more specific focus mentioned, while the latter is a broader field that includes financial planning, budgeting, and analysis. In banks, the function plays a slightly different, more integral [2] role, managing also the link between the institution and the financial markets. In both, there is a close relationship with the financial risk management area. [3]
A company's treasury operation, typically, is under control of the CFO or Vice-president / Director of Finance; and in larger entities is under a dedicated Treasurer. Operations are handled on a day-to-day basis by the organization's treasury staff, controller, or comptroller. [4]
