Treasury Dashboard for CFOs: What to Report Each Month

A treasury dashboard should answer a few practical questions: How much cash is available? What will change it? Where are the risks? What action is required? This guide outlines a concise monthly structure for U.S. businesses.

1. Liquidity snapshot

Show total available cash, material restrictions where relevant, major changes since the prior period and projected minimum liquidity over the planning horizon. Keep definitions consistent from month to month.

2. Forecast accuracy

Report forecast versus actual cash flow and explain material variances. The explanation is often more useful than the percentage itself because it identifies whether the model, timing or business activity caused the difference.

3. Working-capital indicators

Include DSO, DPO and other measures that materially affect operating cash. Pair the metrics with trends and commentary rather than treating them as isolated targets.

4. Payment and fraud-control status

Track material payment exceptions, unusual activity, unresolved reconciliations and control-review actions. Avoid including sensitive credentials or unnecessary account details in broad management reports.

5. Bank costs and services

Summarize major bank fees and service changes, especially where transaction volumes or account structures have changed. This can reveal services that are no longer needed or processes that could be streamlined.

6. Decisions and actions

Finish with a short list of decisions required from management, owners, due dates and unresolved risks. A dashboard becomes more useful when it leads to documented action.
