The development and application of new systems technology when applied to the corporate treasury environment has provided a major focus for treasurers. This in turn has generated much interest and discussion through professional publications and especially at treasury conferences and such was the case at the ACT’s inaugural UK Treasurers’ event in Birmingham.
However, my experience was that much of the conference talk outside (and, indeed sometimes within) the programmed sessions also centred upon the respective arguments for and against treasury outsourcing.
