Organisations exhibit patterns in their choice of treasury organisation models. Two important dimensions for which these choices differ are the range of activities covered by the treasury and the extent of centralisation of management control. Key factors that impact the choice of model adopted are the primary motive for the treasury within the organisation, the scale of operations, the geographic spread of the business, and the complexity.
