 ABSTRACT 
Treasury allows to appreciate the enterprise's performance, having also a strategic role in 
terms of its training level and usage manners. Release (training) of treasury (cash-flow) is the 
proof of the strategic position of enterprise in relation to its products, its markets, its competitors 
and external constraints. This strategic satisfactory position generates significant financial flows 
that allow the company to procure foreign capital, particularly on the financial market, or placing 
the treasury surplus. 
 
         Keywords: cash, payments, claims, investment, financing, treasury             
 
All the operations that the company achieves immediately or in time, flows in the form of 
treasury. Maintaining balance flows treasury is a necessary condition for enterprise's continuity. 
An enterprise can be considered viable, if only to relieve the work on an ongoing basis, treasury. 
In the course of a year, the overall surplus of treasury sets as the difference between 
receipts and payments generated by the entire business enterprise. This global treasury surplus 
comes from the following relationship: 
 
 
         Collect cash      
       
 
   Payments             Payments 
Administration 
Treasury 
Investments 
 
—administration operations, mainly expoliting operations, also other adm.operations.  
This category emits excess of treasury from operations management (ETOG) and excess of 
treasury from exploitation (ETE); 
 — finance and investments operations that generate excess of treasury operations, from 
investment and financing (ETOIF). 
 Excess of tresury from exploitation  
In all operations of management, an important place it occupies the exploiting operations, 
respectively the cyclical operations which characterize the enterprise's activities. 
 
             This operations gather during the exercise an surplus( or loss) of treasury named:  
Suplus  (deficit) of treasury from exploiting  (E.T.E)  
                                               
   
Other operations of 
administration 
 
 
       Operations of administration 
Operations of 
exploiting 
E.T.E. 
                               
 
Surplus of  treasury from exploting 
 
       Surplus (deficit) of treasury from exploiting is so cash treasury generated expression 
(or consumption) during the financial year only by operations concerning exploiting.  
                    Surplus of  treasury from exploiting can be computed two ways, thus: 
a) As difference between the cash and payments of exploiting activity, accordingly to the 
relationship:  
                    ETE = Cah from exploiting  - Payments for exploiting 
consisting of : 
         Cash from exploiting  = Turnover – increase of customer's credits  and 
         Payments for exploiting  = Expenses fo exploiting – Increase of debts to suppliers – 
Increase of other debts of exploiting  
        By development of treasury surplus of exploiting this becomes: 
          Cash from sales 
   E.T.E =                - Payments for purchase 
           - Payments for other exploiting expenses  
            - Settlements on the payment V.A.T  
The analysis of elements compousing  E.T.E conducts to the following formula : 
          Sales tax free   
           -Purhase tax free 
 E.T.E =             -Other exploiting expenses (stocks excluded ) 
            -Exploiting claims (their variation) 
            +Debts of exploiting (their variation) 
 
but, the surplus on the exploiting operations creating of financial flows in current exercise 
(E.S.O) is constituted from the sum of elements: 
               Sales tax free 
 E.S.O =                 - Purchase tax free  
                 -Other exploiting expenses (stocks excluded ) 
Results the relationship between  E.T.E and E.S.O: 
E. T.E = E.S. O -  Exploiting claims  +  Debts from exploiting 
Difference:  Exploiting claims  —  Exploiting debts, is called: Variation of commercial 
operation in progress 
so E.T.E = E.S.O —Commercial operation in progress 
This relationship highlights the role played in the capital of treasury computation, by the 
commercial policy (policy of buying and selling, credit of the enterprise).  
        The first method of calculation of surplus treasury of exploiting is very well suited to a 
forecast approach (in treasury budget). 
b) Through a relationship similar to that of surplus global treasury.  
In this case, the treasury is determined by the flow generating needs and resources corrected 
by gaps appeared between birth financial flows and their effective implementation in the 
treasury. 
Flows of  needs or                      Treasury variations                                       treasury flows 
    resources       (clams,debts,stocks) 
 
  Finance from              Treasury variations          =       Overall treasury 
entirely activity                (NFR)                
This relation applied to exploitig operations becomes:  
Finance from exploiting                         Variations from           = Exploiting  
                                                                 exploiting                            treasury 
 
  
         EBE           ANFRE                          ETE 
 
The link between the  dintre excess treasury from exploiting (ETE) and gross excess from 
exploiting  (EBE) is illustrated by the following relationships : 
(1) ETE = Sales tax free — Purchase tax free — Other exploiting expenses 
— Exploiting claims +  Exploiting debts 
(2)      EBE = Sales tax free  + Production on stock (Sf—Si) + Immobilized production — 
— Purchase tax free — Stocks(Si—Sf) — Other exploting expenses 
from (2) — (1) => EBE — ETE = Production on stock (Sf—Si)+ Stocks (Si—Sf) + 
                +immobilized production + Exploiting claims 
                                    — Exploiting debts 
Production on stock (Sf—Si) + Stocks(Si—Sf)= Stocks general variation (St) 
EBE - ETE = St + Expl.claims — Expl.debts. + Imobilized production 
St + expl.claims. — expl.debts  = NFRE  
   So results the relation : ETE = EBE — NFRE — Fixed/immobilized production 
This relationship is valid if the need for floating capital for operating increases (consumes 
treasury).  
         In the event that need capital to fund operating reduction (liberate treasury) the relationship 
becomes: 
ETE = EBE + NFRE – Immobilized production 
Treasury surplus of exploitation thus represents treasury liberal (or consumed) by operating 
activities of the company during a financial year.  
This method of determining the surplus treasury operation of ETE = EBE ± NFRE (on the 
assumption that there is immobilized production) shows the flow of real treasury operation 
whose size should be cover for financing capital (EBE) and increasing the need for floating 
capital. 
       If the surplus treasury operation is negative, it means that the operation consumes treasury, 
instead of create, that means, earnings are lower then payments. In this case, the company has no 
capacity to cope with the needs of self-investment (maintaining economic capital) to ensure its 
growth (investments) or payment of interest and repayment of financial debts, including all the 
payments for taxes and for dividends. This serious situation (long-term survival of the enterprise 
are compromised) may be a consequence of insufficient economic return (EBE insufficient), or 
an increase of irregular financing needs of the business of exploitation (a very large increase of 
NFRE). Such a situation can not be extended only to the extent that their company finds, in other 
operations, filling the necessary treasury to meet payments falling due.  
        Accordingly, gross operating surplus is an important concept in the diagnosis and the 
prevention of the enterprise's difficulties, the indicator becomes mainly in financial flows 
analysis. 
 
2) Treasury surplus of all administration operations   (ETOG) 
Treasury surplus from all operations management, gather ETE and the surplus coming from 
other operations . 
        Can be called "the treasury surplus of current operations" (ETOC), or "surplus of Treasury 
operations management (ETOG), or yet" The liquid capacity of self financing "  
        We will retain the name of "surplus of treasury operations management (ETOG), and thus 
will present relationship of calculation (an analogue study that was done to ETE lead to this 
relationship): 
ETOG = CAF — NFR — Immobilized production 
The importance of this relationship is that it points a basic information, namely:  the 
capacity of self financing can not be treated as an excess of treasury, that is a resource available 
to 100%, because ETOG depends on the ability of self financing and the need for substantive 
changes of floating capital (on the assumption simplified that there is immobilized production) 
3) Treasury surplus of investment and financing operations  (ETOIF) 
The act that settle establishment of this excess is Financing Picture –Part one  
ETOIF = Durable resources (other then CAF) — Stable Utilizations — CAF 
Durable resources— Stable utilizations = FR 
ETOIF = AFR - CAF 
      This relationship is correct if there in not immobilized production. 
      Check the basic relationship of settled overall surplus of treasury : 
 Treasury surplus of administration operations (ETOG) 
+ Treasury surplus of investment and financing operations  ETOIF) 
= Overall surplus of treasury TN = FRNG—NFR 
So, is known that: 
    ETOG = CAF-NFR                a) 
    ETOIF = AFRNG-CAF          b) 
Then (a+b) becomes: 
ETOG + ETOIF = FRNG - NFR 
But,the treasury surplus of investment and financing operations can be split in two elements: 
— treasury surplus on investment operations, 
          —   treasury surplus on financing operations  
Also, treasury constitutes an instrument of action available to enterprise managers to achieve 
their strategic objectives. Thus, the treasury can be used either for the purchase of equipment 
essential to internal growth, or to purchase securities venture aimed at increasing foreign. 
Treasury therefore represents the pledge of flexible enterprise. Accountant treasury person must 
be constantly concerned about the efficient placement of surplus effective treasury in the short 
term (in conditions of maximum profitability and liquidity, also minimum risk) before it is 
engaged in the long term business strategic decisions.
