Managing liquidity in today’s organizations requires more than achieving visibility to cash balances. In an environment of risk and tightening access to capital and cash, challenges become amplified. A panel (representing corporates, SCF experts, and consultants) will discuss corporate pain points, developments in the economy at large, and the use of levers such as SCF to better manage liquidity.
With interest rates rising and other factors creating a complex economic environment, managing the cash conversion cycle and working capital efficiently is a major challenge for many organizations. While cash is always a priority, it’s often difficult to track and improve liquidity. This webinar will discuss ways of leveraging technology and using efficient organizational strategies to manage working capital effectively even with limited human resources. Topics covered will include the following:
Measuring what matters.
Building bridges internally.
Gaining exposure to payables and receivables departments.
Tools that allow you to move quickly.
Benefits of joint software and finance solutions.
In an organization, who is responsible for payments? Who is responsible for payment security? This session will explain why the treasurer is the superintendent of payments and payment security. Since treasurers are not the only ones with important responsibilities for payments and security across the organization, these responsibilities must be more formally defined and communicated.
One of the first responsibilities of treasury with regard to payments is to inventory all payment flows (originating system and payment type). This provides the foundation for assessing your payment processes. When companies take these inventories, they are usually surprised to find they have 50% to 100% more payment flows than they originally thought. This session will discuss the process of finding and inventorying all payment flows to understand the exposure points.
Strategic Treasurer and TD Bank’s annual Treasury Perspectives Survey polls treasury and finance practitioners on their current perspectives, plans, and strategies on issues such as economic and geopolitical outlook, top concerns, credit use and availability, operations and benchmarks, staffing, regulation, bank relationship management, technology, and more. This webinar will cover key findings from the 2023 results and will discuss the primary implications of this data for organizations this year and beyond.
Continuing the series on bank relationship management, we transition now to bank account management and structures. Properly designing the cash management structures is vital for operational efficiency and control. Banking structures, for most corporations, will include multiple banks, and several longstanding principles and techniques are being supplemented with new structures. Turmoil in the banking sector has caused a revival for operational backup structures to strengthen the risk management footing of the organization. Additionally, the process and tools of bank account management can look notably different depending upon the organization’s complexity and size. This session will highlight many of the key details from both of these components.
