"The treasurer is responsible for the financial oversight of the company, as well as controlling fixed assets and raising funds. Their role includes financial planning, budgeting, and reporting. They oversee the company's in-house finance department and hire third-party auditors as needed. They also create strategies that reduce the company's costs, raise production, and improve efficiency, and they manage reports and budgets prepared by their departmental employees."

"Instances of errors are diminished due to the use of financial software. However, I still require an accounting education and experience for everyone in the department. I perform internal audits, spot checks, and verifications as well to ensure accuracy, and I implement third-party audits quarterly to identify any weaknesses in our practises. We consistently follow the generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which provides financial reporting guidelines. As an extra measure against account errors and accidents, I store all financial information and reports in two places."

"There are various ways to access capital, and the method used should depend on the company's goals for using the funds. For instance, I recommend short-term bank loans for operational matters. I would issue equity or long-term debt when looking for capital for major purchases and investments. Other methods include selling assets, seeking grants, and bringing in investors or partners. For startups, crowdfunding and angel investors could be beneficial."

"I make my explanation as simple as I can and avoid financial terminology and acronyms. I explain that liquidity is cash on hand. Liquid assets also include stocks, bonds, and certificates of deposit because they can be quickly converted to cash. It represents how much cash the company has available at any time."

"To manage risk associated with interest rates, I would consider leveraging fixed-rate instruments, hedging, and diversification. Depending on the information I had, other strategies I could use are selling long-term bonds, buying interest rate futures, and purchasing high-yield or floating-rate bonds."

"I have experience with investment funds because I've used them as a source for capital. I like ETFs for flexibility and hedge funds because they represent investments in many asset classes with less regulation. I know they're riskier, so the investment I choose depends on the company's philosophy and financial position. Another thing to consider is investing in similar companies, the characteristics of the fund, and our risk exposure."

"I'm familiar with a variety of methods for evaluating companies. For example, relative evaluation establishes the value of a business compared to its industry peers and determines if the company has the same or similar multipliers and benchmarks. Additionally, evaluating based on publicly owned companies is an analysis using metrics determined by current market prices. In comparison, M&A comps consider historical prices in the private markets of similar companies. I like to use a combination of methods to ensure my valuation is as accurate as possible."

"Discounted cash flow is a financial model used to value a company based on future cash flows. It's a good way to compute the intrinsic value of a company because it estimates cash flows instead of earnings. DCF is a five-year forecast model using the three financial statements."

"EBITDA is the acronym for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation. It's reported on the income statement and represents a formula for operating income minus non-operating and non-cash expenses.

"The balance sheet, cash flow statement, and income statement represent the three main financial statements of a company. Net income links to the income statement and balance sheet from this period through retained earnings shown on the balance sheet. When linked, the total cash is added to the previous period's ending balance."

"I have experience with Board and FreshBooks, but I prefer Quicken. It's easy to use, interfaces with bank and credit card apps, and is popular with widespread use and employee experience. It also has wide reporting abilities, easy tax preparation, and tracks tax deductions and profit and losses."

"Certain work activities cause more pressure than others. However, I've never had a problem because I just refocus on the work. Situations that involve regulations, big decisions about investments, and concerns over capital cause the most stress, but I love this job and have produced some of my best work under pressure."

"The treasurer works with the CEO and management from day to day, but their responsibilities are answerable only to the board of directors. A mistake concerning a typo can be fixed, but important discrepancies in reporting numbers cannot be tolerated. I would report the issue to the board or CEO and let them make the decision about the executive."

"I typically manage with authority and delegate some responsibilities to my employees. I ensure they have a clear understanding of their roles and that they feel like part of the team. I sometimes use a situational management style as well, but this typically depends on my organisation and my relationship with employees."

"I had a challenging situation at a company I previously worked for. Our financial reporting was due to be announced in a week, and management and employees were already talking about the results. This is a CSA violation that exposed us to legal actions. I instantly sent out directives to stop disclosing such information. I explained that it's illegal to release unauthorised information and that it carries legal ramifications."
