Recommendation

Digital technology is disrupting corporate treasury departments, some more rapidly than others. While retaining their core functions of financial risk management, treasuries are expanding their role from that of a transaction and reporting center to a corporate hub for strategic risk management and analytics. Fintech will drive best practices, according to this cogent and clear analysis from the Economist Intelligence Unit. Corporate financial professionals will find this an instructive overview.

Take-Aways

  • Corporate treasury departments are undergoing transformation in their traditional financial management duties and stewardship roles.
  • Artificial intelligence, blockchain and cloud technologies – the “ABCs” – will become increasingly relevant to the treasury function.
  • In a 2018 survey, treasurers’ takes on the degree of digital disruption affecting their work vary by economic sector, with less pressure in areas like energy and more in health care.
