CMS Expert Guide to Cash Pooling

Cash pooling enables corporate groups to minimise expenditure incurred in connection with banking facilities through economies of scale. Cash pooling agreements must be carefully structured in order to minimise the risks of civil or criminal liability of the participating group companies and their officers, and also take into account the tax issues.

Especially in difficult economic times like we are experiencing now, with a multitude of risks (raw material prices, disrupted supply chains, to name but a few), the importance of efficient cash management is growing. We see increasing demand on expertise on cash pooling.

In this context, this guide provides an overview of the risks of civil and/or criminal liability associated with cash pooling in multiple jurisdictions in which CMS is represented and discusses the various means by which such liability may be avoided.
