AN EXAMINATION OF TREASURY MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES AND THEIR IMPLICATION ON BANK PERFORMANCE

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

In recent times, many Nigerians are living witnesses to the spate of failures, fraud and distress in the banking industry. On the other hand, it is not far from the truth to staff that some banks in the country have been able to forge ahead and keep their head above waters inspite of the economic predicament planging the nation. Studies have shown that the success ad failures of most modern business organisation (especially in Nigeria) hinges on the ability of those at the helm of affairs in these organisation to apply successfully the concepts of management. However, events have proved that organisations such as bank needs more than ordinary management. There is the unavailable need for the bank to apply the concepts of treasury management.

According to Okeya (2017) treasury management deals with the ability to plan, mobilize, monitor and manage liquid financial resources. He went further to explain that such managemen will not only reduce the risk of loss but will go a long way to increasing net earnings in a manner that is consistent with the strategic objectuves of the organization. However, it could be considered imperative at this juncture to ask why it is important for bank to appreciate the concept of treasury management and the objective to be achieved through treasury management.

In the opinion of Akin-Ajayi (2013) the importance of treasury management to the banking industry cannot over emphasized and the objectives of the treasury management includes among other things to help a bank to maintain the ability to pay availability of fund at the right times in the right place. In the right currencies and at an acceptable cost to minimize idle balances, and over all to ensures that adequate funds are available to the banks to service the needs of the bank and to meet the C.B.N liquidity and reserve requirement.

A look at the above view shows that in this contemporary times, no bank can fully achieve a reasonable degree of success without resource to the concept of treasury management. However, the question then is, how far has Nigeria banking industry been able to imbibe this concepts in their operations? And to what extent can managing its treasury very well enhance the liquidity position of a bank. It is as a result of the above that this study intends to critically examine the issue of treasury management and their implication on banks performance with special reference to the United Bank for Africa (UBA)0000000 plc.

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Commercial Bank assets management is a never ending tug of war, this war is pitched between efficient liquidity management on the hand and profitability on the other. Over the years, the organic growth in financial markets and the spread of liability management have resulted in a greater diversity in banks liabilities and assets and the result in increased risk exposure through maturity mismatches. This has had adverse implication on banks incomes and liquidity to the extent that the needs to minimize or avoid such and other associated risks has called for a system approach for banks fund management.

A series of techniques ae brought to bear where holdings of reminerative assets are financed by related liabilities on one hand and on the other, liabilities may be accepted in advance of committment. The later are subsequently deployed in accquiring the former. Its main strenght lies in the ability to systematize and incorporated the other approaches which employing management experience in decision making. Furthermore, the key areas that impinage on profitability such as gap management liquidity, cost control etc are identified. This has the over-all objectives of taking decision consistent with the over-all onjectives of profit maximization within the constraints of liquidity, solvency are regulartory requirements, it has been noted that the last decade brought with it a different economic environment, this emerged with the debt crisis and the serious payment difficulties experienced by the developing debtors economics.

Bank assets has to be reclassified with a roll back in international lending to developing countries. There were increased maturity mis-matches and risk including country risk. All these resulted in securitization and increase of balance sheet business in this way, bank were able to expand their business and earn fee incomes without increasing balance sheet footings. This cannot be more relevant in any economy than Nigeria today where the economy has been heavily deregulated and the debts crisis is still far from surmantable. However, a modern day treasurer is concerned with the totality of banks fund management, however, the recent spate of distress fraunds, faiures and the abysmal performance of bank compets one to ask how far to what extent does the Nigeria banks appreciate the concepts of managing their treasury. It is as a result of the above that this study intend to take a critical look at the issues of an examination of treasury management procedures and their implication on banks performance.
