The centralization solution. How are leading treasuries in Europe reorganizing their operations to achieve process efficiency and control, but also to leverage treasury expertise throughout the organization (i.e., share risk knowledge, etc. via a consulting role with operations)? Automating for value. What new technologies are helping treasury professionals maintain cash/risk visibility globally, while automating process controls and "infusing" risk awareness throughout the enterprise? New corporate governance rules combined with a flood of new US GAAP and International Accounting Standards are forcing treasurers on both sides of the Atlantic to re-examine policies and processes, and adapt hedging, borrowing and compensation strategies to comply with requirements. While it's easy to get "bogged down" in the time-consuming reporting and reviewing responsibilities, leading treasurers are leveraging the rules to take a step toward greater enterprise-wide risk management approach.
