Introduction to Cash and Liquidity Management
Cash and Liquidity Management is one of the most important aspects of daily business
operations for an organization. Proper cash and liquidity management enables
businesses to:
Quantify their liquid assets
Manage their liquidity accounts
effectively
Effective cash and liquidity management is dependent on the quality and reliability of
the measurement tools that a company uses to monitor its cash flows.

11
Cash and Liquidity Management Components: Overview
Cash and liquidity is managed at UN through three main tools:
Cash Position Report
Liquidity Forecast Report
Copyright © United Nations
Memo Records
12
Cash Position Report
The Cash Position report provides value-dated balances of UN
bank accounts and funds-in-transit.
Report data is derived from:
• General Ledger (G/L) cash balances
• Treasury investments
• FX data brought into Umoja from Fxall (gain/loss incurred
through exchange of currency)
Cash Position Report
Mission Cashiers will use the Cash Position report.
Copyright © United Nations
13
Liquidity Forecast Report
The Liquidity Forecast report provides dynamic projections of
UN’s cash flow based on items such as bank balances,
transactions processed through bank accounts (AP, AR), and
memo records.
The basis of this report is derived from financial documents that
move through the “AP Financial Supply Chain” (from a purchase
order to a goods receipt, invoice, bank clearing and finally an
item on a bank account statement) (from Assessed Contribution
to invoicing and receipt of revenue). These documents include:
Liquidity Forecast Report
•
Purchase Orders (PO’s)
•
Procurement contracts
•
Invoices
•
Assessed Contributions
•
Investment inflow and outflows
Liquidity Forecast reports will be generated for each business
area; these reports will be consolidated to determine liquidity
forecast for the entire organization.

14
Memo Records
Memo records are used to record additional transactions that
are not yet processed in the Umoja system, but are important
for the purpose of cash management as they impact cash flows.
These transactions may include cash flows related to pensions,
tax reimbursement payments, rations, troop reimbursement
and fuel (both for ground and air transport).
Memo Records

Field Impacts to Liquidity Forecasts
Missions play an important role in ensuring the accuracy of UN liquidity forecasts. The
timely submission and incorporation of mission-related expenses impacts the cash flow
reflected in the liquidity forecast in real time. This impacts business decisions made on
the basis of the forecast.
Field activities that directly impact liquidity forecast include:
• Timely submission of payroll and other large vendor payment projections
• Timely processing of daily outgoing payments

Memo Records
What is a Memo Record?
Memo records are one-time financial entries that are used to bring transactions that have not been
processed in Umoja into the Cash Position and Liquidity Forecast for a specific account. The inclusion of
transactions added as memo records results in a cash position that is updated in real-time and not
subject to lag-processing times that may be incurred during transaction processing or pending periods.
Memo records are organized into thirteen planning types; UN will be using the following four types:
1. DI and MP memo records are created to account for expected customer payments in the future
and they factor into Umoja sub-ledger balances
2. AB and AU memo records are created to account for notifications of payments being processed by
a banking institution
DI
General Planning
MP
Noted Items
AB
Confirmed advices
AU
Unconfirmed advices
Once the actual payment is received, the memo record must be archived to avoid double-counting.

Simulation Activities
Throughout this training, users will have the opportunity to
conduct activities in the form of simulations. Simulations
are interactive “recordings” of the Umoja system used to
help facilitate a hands-on learning experience. The
simulation links are provided on the corresponding activity
slides.
Users can access simulations in three different modes:
• Show me: Users view a video of an entire transaction
being conducted
• Let’s do it together: Users will be prompted to input
data at key points during the transaction
(recommended)
• Try it: Users can complete an entire transaction on
their own, with no additional instructions provided

Module 2 Objectives
After completing this module, you will be able to:

• Outline the methods of managing cash levels
• Initiate a bank to bank transfer
• Transmit the necessary MT202 SWIFT message and receive confirmation
• Transfer funds to the appropriate House Bank Account

Introduction to Cash Level Management
The Cash Position Report determines when current cash levels in a House Bank Account
are too low to cover projected expenses that will be paid from that account. The amount
required to cover those projected expenses is determined by the Liquidity Forecast
Report.
These reports enable UN Treasury to replenish the cash level of that account before the
payments are processed.

Introduction to Cash Level Management
Depending on the type of account being replenished (determined by currency held and
location), the cash level of a bank account can be replenished in one of two ways:
Used to replenish bank balances by transferring
funds from one bank account to another
Execute bank-to- bank account of the same currency.

37
Bank-to-Bank Transfer Process
A Bank-to-Bank Transfer replenishes account fund levels through the transfer of money
from one account to another. Transfers are made via SWIFT. Updated account totals
resulting from bank-to-bank transfers will be reflected in future Cash Position and
Liquidity Forecasts.
The process followed to execute a bank-to-bank transfer is outlined below:

request
Transmit MT202
SWIFT message
Receive Ack/Nak
message from bank
The creation and approval of a transfer payment request results in the automatic
generation of an MT202 SWIFT message in Umoja.
What is MT202 SWIFT?
A SWIFT message used by Treasury to communicate high value transfer instructions
between bank accounts it manages.
Once the MT202 SWIFT is created in Umoja, it is transferred to the Bank Communications
Management (BCM) for distribution to the bank signatories assigned to the House Bank
Account from which the money is being transferred. The bank-to-bank transfer cannot be
executed until it is approved by the House Bank’s signatory.
Once the bank signatory approves the transfer, BCM automatically sends the MT202 SWIFT
message.

Once the bank has received and processed the MT202 SWIFT message, it sends an Ack/Nak
message to Treasury confirming the transfer. This message is received via BCM and marks
the end of this process.
Note: The liquidation and purchase of investments and the purchase of foreign currency is
handled by Treasury.
These activities are covered in the Umoja Investment Accounting course.
