Cash Management in ICI

An article on cash management in a multinational company like ICI can easily become boringly factual and descriptive. I propose, therefore, in this short paper to attempt to do two things—first, to say what I, personally, think the role of the finance function in a large company is, and how important the job of cash management is within that total role; and second, to highlight some of the more significant and interesting aspects of cash management in a large group, involved in world‐wide activities, and under modern conditions.
