Aspect’s Treasury team recently spoke with Clear Path Analysis as part of the Risk Management, Treasury and Automation report 2019.
In summary:
- The three main issues currently impacting the treasury cash management process are: the effects of regulation, ensuring treasury functions are flexible, and doing more with less while maintaining oversight and control.
- Automation has been employed to strengthen the cash execution process as a whole and connect components by using an optimum secure location.
- Any changes to the function require open-mindedness and a wider range of strategy, which focus on the reduction of operational drag in order to prioritise alpha.
- When deciding whether to innovate inhouse or employ external solutions, Chief Operating Officers have to consider whether internal resources would be better spent elsewhere.
- Securing funding and support from key stakeholders depends on how far initiatives can deliver on pre-defined internal values, while still managing their expectations.
- Existing relationships with product and technology vendors are expected to evolve as the business evolves. Strategic partners have to be selected, in order to build mutually beneficial relationships.
