Virtual Roundtable: Futureproofing Treasury through Digitization

The unprecedented business disruptions that have characterised much of 2020 have elevated the importance of treasury to the financial and operational well-being of every business.

Rapid advances in technology and changes in financial services, such as the transformation of the payments landscape, are presenting multiple challenges to treasurers and CFOs. Is now the right time to push forward that re-engineering of processes as part of the enterprise-wide digital transformation?

Can this be the opportunity to future proof treasury (and payments) through digitization? Can treasury move toward real-time operations, and focus resources toward supporting enterprise growth while navigating the heightened risks — and leveraging the opportunities — that will likely define the 2020s.

How can the CIO and the IT department support the digitization of treasury so that it is resilient to market conditions? Which approaches around data and analytics, automation, the digitization of payments and receivables, and the seamless integration of information flows is the right one for the department and the company as a whole?

FutureCFO, in partnership with Kyriba, will hold a by-invitation roundtable discussion with key senior finance professionals to look at the opportunities to redesign treasury for the always-on economy.  

In this dialogue of peers, we will cover topics like:

• The digitization of treasury – what needs to happen
• Tactical and strategic challenges of a digital treasury (including payments and invoicing) service
• Tools for the new ways of working, including managing risks
• The future of digital Treasury – how CFOs/CIOs must work together to get there
