Chapter I Statement of the Problem

1.1 Formulation of the Problem:

The Financial World has entered a time, totally different from the one that it lived in the last 5 years ago, in Venezuela from April 2002. The Manager is faced with a completely different financial environment than he was used to, with a high degree of uncertainty and risk linked to cash management.

The widening of the range of responsibilities and financial administration has led to the need for new techniques and new forms of management, issues such as currency risk management that implies a new way of managing assets and liabilities in various currencies, as well as selective allocation of resources among the different components of working capital.

The change in the general price level as an indicator of inflation began to be relevant in recent months, throughout Venezuela inflation was initially seen more as a consequence of monetary policies and exchange control than as a phenomenon be studied in itself, to face it as a company. Borrowing to acquire goods whose prices will increase generating profits that compensated more than proportionally to financial costs, was the strategy of the moment.

In the companies located in the Táchira State, the economic adjustments implemented as of February 2002 represented a financial shakeup in the border organizations and companies. A change in the role of the state within the economy is expected, and for the first time in half time the market force, timidly, begins to set the price of goods and services. A large part of the subsidies granted by the state disappear, generating significant inflation and changes in companies in response to the change.

It is not alarmist to affirm that today in the Two Thousand Eight there is an increasing number of financial difficulties in Venezuela and especially the companies located in the Táchira State due to objectionable treasury planning and operation. The difficulties in financial techniques have increased and their effects have contributed to the suspension and until the closure of the activities of numerous companies, which means that analysis mechanisms need to be implemented in the treasury to qualify and quantify the results of the new situation.

By virtue of the aforementioned situation, this degree project develops a series of considerations to design a treasury model that couples and allows the financing of its activities and the diversification of its income, through investment and obtaining extraordinary income.

1.2 Importance and Justification of the Problem

The Espress Typography Company is the result of a group of Entrepreneurs and Businessmen directly linked to the graphic arts for more than ten (10) years of experience. The company is located in the State of Táchira Santa Ana. Its operations begin on April 4, 2001, with an initial capital of Ten Million Bolívares (Bs. 10,000,000.00). It is currently in charge of supplying the national control books for the Magistracy and the Ministry of the Popular Power of Justice and is made up of the following line of direction: Presidency, Administration and Finance, Sales and Marketing.

In addition, the company has the services of a firm of accounting administrative advisers that is in charge of advising the company; however, the company is characterized by being a traditionalist family business where, even though they have good advisers, their operations are not the best, wasting opportunities that offers new trends and economic policies in the public sector in order to develop companies in the region..

In the Typography Express company, its administration and finance area, have been developing as main function the obtaining and management of capital following conservative and low-risk operations, and as a consequence of these operations, their profitability on their surplus funds have not achieved the desired return., bringing as a consequence the slow development of the company including unproductive decisions, which have caused the neglect of its organization and updating of its main operations in the treasury area such as: (handling of cash, policies, negotiable securities, investments and other own operations) being this the main problem to solve.

Chapter II

Theoretical framework

2.1 Background

The company's long-regarded financial organizations started from economics, emerged as a field of independent study at the beginning of this century. Originally they related only to documents, institutions and procedural aspects of capital markets. Accounting data and financial records were not like what is currently used, nor were there regulations that required disclosure of financial information, although interest in promotion, consolidations, and mergers was growing.

Different related studies have been found in the treasury area, according to Gómez, 1998 points out:

“The elaboration of a Treasury system that optimizes the use of cash. However, despite the enormous advantages that it still has, it is practically unknown and almost not used, with our exploratory research, which uses a survey as an instrument. ”

The model presented is through the development of work, it can vary from one economic group to another, since each one has its own characteristics that would change the system. There is no doubt in considering that this work will be a valuable contribution to the region and to many groups of companies.

Garnica 1991 notes that:

“The financial management is responsible for the administration of resources, being the handling of money, among them, a factor of vital importance for any company regardless of its size; if one takes into account the effect that inflation and other environmental factors may have on said resources. ”

Consequently, financial management must have a plan to determine how much cash the company will have, what its sources are, when it will be available and when it will be used, which is why this thesis work designs an Integral system of treasury.
