Every organisation needs the ability to understand future trends, and The Business of Treasury helps to cast light on the priorities and concerns for the future of treasury. In early 2020, the ACT interviewed treasurers in the UK, the rest of the EU, the Middle East, North America, Asia-Pacific and Africa, as part of an ongoing programme of annual research - the only international survey of qualified treasurers by a professional treasury association. This report - the eighth we have published - forms the most detailed set of insights available into treasury’s role within global business. It reveals a continuing, palpable shift in the role, from finance specialist and information provider to collaborator in strategic decision-making.
At the ACT International Treasury Week virtual event in May 2020, Caroline Stockmann presented the highlights of the latest Business of Treasury research.
