Strategy & Organization

The operations in a business are closely related to the company's strategy and organizational structure.

Zanders provides an excellent service in this field for the three areas of expertise: treasury management, risk management, and corporate finance.

It is important that the tasks and responsibilities of a treasury or risk management department are properly embedded in its operating policies and procedures. They should be clearly stated in a treasury statute or risk governance document.

A description of (operational) objectives and daily activities should be set out in a policy document and a procedures manual.

There should also be a process in place for checks and balances. Zanders can assist its clients in drawing up such documents.

Treasury management

In the area of treasury management, Zanders can carry out an assessment of treasury activities, or it can provide a complete ‘business process redesign’ of the department.

Zanders will ensure that the treasury department’s activities are aligned with the organization’s operating policies and procedures.

Risk management

In the area of risk management, Zanders can support in the development and implementation of risk quantification and the corresponding risk policy.

An important element in the risk policy is risk governance, which describes the tasks and responsibilities of the parties involved.

Furthermore, by defining a risk appetite profile, the company can gauge clearly the limits within which it can generate a return.

Transactions

In transactions such as mergers and acquisitions, a restructuring, or a financing, the strategy of the (new) organization is an important factor.

In these situations it is not only the financial side of the deal that matters. The tax, legal, controlling and accounting conditions which organizations are subject to form an important framework.

Zanders is well-positioned to optimally integrate these various disciplines from a financing perspective.
