The cash management function is generally housed in the finance office
and can be the responsibility of a finance director or a treasurer, depending
on the size and structure of the local government. One employee may handle
the entire treasury function or several employees may be assigned to portions
of this function. Larger governments, for example, may have treasury
staff devoted to collecting revenues and other staff focused on investing
funds, and assign disbursements and accounting and record-keeping functions
to other staff members in the finance department.
