Tools developed by Deloitte, such as CreditManagement and CashManagement, are used when realising projects in the area of cash flow management and treasury, and enable companies to manage and optimise cash flows (including cash flow projections) and carry out calculations of the profitability of assets and the costs to subsequently optimise these depending on the objectives of the owners/senior management. Such projects typically comprise examination and optimisation of the main cash flows (in/out) with the aim to maximise the free cash flow, the proposal and implementation of processes and tools for cash flow prediction and projection, the centralisation of funds including the introduction of suitable tools (e.g. through the implementation of cash pooling), and the preparation for active management of assets and liabilities and the entity's balance sheet. These processes help decrease financing costs by 10 to 15 percent, use additional financing opportunities and decrease costs by 20 to 30 percent. The services suit independent business entities, but mainly groups of firms, even those diversified territorially.
