CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The concept of management was evolved as a result of
existence of man. Hence, it could be traced back to the evolution of money. In
this case, the origin of money which brings about cash management in our
contemporary commercial backs really comes as the aftermaths of the
difficulties of trade by barter. Trade by barter is a system and practice where
goods are exchanged for goods and services. Barter system has many defects and
drawbacks. These include the difficulty of double coincidence of wants, time
and energy wastage, difficulty in ascertaining the value of commodities, discouragement
of large quantities and variety of purchases, deferred payment, installment
payment and borrowing large scale production and such like.
Having identified the defects inevitable by barter
system, people were false to fashion out a generally acceptable means of
exchange i.e. money. It worthy to note that the paper money presently in use
was originated from the receipt the goldsmith issued to people who kept gold
and other valuables with them. As goldsmiths were taught to be honest, merchant
people started keeping their gold with them for safe custody. In retain the
goldsmith gave the depositors receipts promising to return the gold on demand.
These receipt of the goldsmith were substitutes for money, such paper was back
by gold and was convertible on demand into gold. This ultimately led to the
development of bank note and today, money has another form other than paper
called coin.
Thus, money is any thing that is generally acceptable
as medium of exchange for making payment, settlement of debt or other business
obligations. The qualities of money such as generally acceptability,
portability, durability homogeneity, divisibility, recognizatbility and
scarcity make money and prudent management. Paper money and coins are
collectively called cash. Today, customer deposit money with banks and banks
give a promise to pay on demand the amount deposited by the customer. The
customer can withdraw all his or her money in cash for the purpose of settling
his or her debts or he or she can issued cheque by asking the bank to transfer
the stated sum form his deposit to beneficiary.
So, the continued patronage of a bank by a customer
depends on some important factor among which are the following:
·
Availability of
cash to meet the immediate and urgent needs of customers.
·
The qualities of
services rendering.
·
The proximity of
the back to the customer’s business premises.
The approach ability and business acquisitive of its
manager e.t.c.
Of all the reasons listed above, there is one which
ranks supreme to all other reasons and that is the ability to strike balance
between the shareholder and customer i.e. problem of profitability and
liquidity are equally the utmost. The bankers has to keep enough cash in order
to meet customers demand at the time will serve the interest of the shareholder
who are expecting returns over the investment.
