This presentation is designed to help those responsible for managing liquidity and financial risk identify some of the key strategies, techniques, and benchmarks utilized by leading corporations. Attendees will receive an overview of cutting-edge corporate treasury management and will leave with a checklist of ideas to help their finance or treasury departments add greater value to their company.

Regardless of whether a company has a formal treasury department or not all companies must balance sources of funds with their uses. In the “modern treasury” this activity means changing from a transaction processing function into a strategic corporate planning unit that can add tangible value to the company. Historically, a function like treasury has had difficulty demonstrating its value. While a modern treasury is desirable, its responsibilities will always include:
  • The need to process transactions
  • Minimize risk of financial loss from changes in the capital or FX markets, and 
  • Account for changes to various G/L accounts
  • Manage and report on current and future balances associated with cash, debt and investments across multiple currencies.

During the presentation we will discuss methods treasury can use to leverage its existing staff resources and shift its focus from processing to planning. Key to this transition process will be a discussion of:
  • Setting financial policies, treasury goals & performance measures
  • How the use of technology can pay for the transition including sources of treasury technology from bank systems to ERP vendors
  • Leveraging treasury resources: evaluating outsourcing vs in-house alternatives
  • Current and future developments in treasury – setting priorities for change
  • Practical “do’s and don’ts” when implementing treasury improvement projects.
