The 11th annual Business of Treasury research report
Key insights
- Treasurers are playing to their strengths of professional excellence, calmness and resilience in an uncertain business environment
- Treasurers’ key challenges of artificial intelligence (AI), ESG and geopolitical risk are business-focused rather than treasury-specific, demonstrating how treasury is increasingly embedded in organisations
- The rise and role of technology – automation, AI and cybersecurity all present opportunities and challenges
- Funding sources continue to be diversified, but there’s a slowdown in adoption of sustainable finance solutions
- Treasurers sense a lack of career opportunities and are starting to create their own pathways
- The treasurer is now an established key strategic partner for businesses in developed markets; the role continues to evolve in emerging markets, though the direction of travel is positive
- Boards are more engaged with treasury at times of stress; treasurers need to prove their worth over the long term
The Business of Treasury research looks at trends and insight from a survey with treasurers around the world on a wide range of issues such as board reporting, the strategic impact of treasurers, sources of funding and the importance of treasury qualifications.
