The sands are shifting, the wind is changing ... it often seems that corporate treasury is a bit like trying to sail across the seas.

One main difference, of course, is that the treasurer never gets to find a safe home port – his/her job is to help keep the boat sailing, on high or low seas, ever greater distances.
