1. Corporate treasury organisation.
A cost centre treasury which acts as a service centre which hedges operational exposures, at a cost.
This is the lowest-risk organisational response to treasury risk, compared with treasuries organised as cost saving centres or profit centres.
2. Management accounting.
More generally, a cost centre is any part of an organisation to which costs may be charged for accounting purposes.
