GOLD CASH MANAGEMENT WINNER
PepsiCo Inc.
In 2005, PepsiCo Inc.'s treasury helped develop a sophisticated system that provided a single view of its global cash in bank accounts. But while treasury was dealing with euros and rupees, it also had its hand in tackling the problem of nickels and dimes facing its Frito-Lay division.
