Dealing with Change in a Volatile World

Keeping on top of treasury, risk and corporate finance is crucial to company survival in today’s highly volatile market conditions. The ACT has gathered together leading corporate and banking executives to share experience and tactics for weathering the further storm that may lie ahead:

• James Wolfensohn, former President of the World Bank on world dynamics
• Johnny Cameron, Chairman, Global Markets, RBS on effective risk management
• David Hodgkinson, Chief Operating Officer, HSBC on the impact of change on a global organisation
• Mervyn Davies CBE, Chairman of Standard Chartered on strategic change
• James Smith, Chairman of Shell UK on energy and sustainability
• Martin McCourt, CEO of Dyson on taking Dyson global
• Angela Knight CBE, CEO, British Bankers’ Association will be putting all this in the context of the impact of regulation and market trends.

There will also be several case studies from those on the front line, including the first external presentation from Tesco on its groundbreaking treasury system implementation. All this will take place at the largest treasury event held in the UK, the ACT Annual Conference from 28 to 30 April at the EICC in Edinburgh. The conference has been a key event for international and domestic treasurers and financial professionals for the past five years.
