While not an inherently thrilling topic for most, the foundational aspects of payment formats have become an area of high interest out of necessity. Particularly given the many new payment types and rails coupled with the reality of obsolescence as formats move off of support, treasury professionals are finding themselves in need of a clear understanding of the many format types, their differences, their trajectories, and how each element matters.
This webinar will cover many of the key elements of payment formats, including both the older style (MT101, Fedwire, ACH) as well as newer payment formats (XML-ISO20022/pain.001, API). The information in this session is targeted to hit the relevant level of detail for treasury staff. The webinar will be fast-paced, practical, and applicable for the director/AT/treasurer levels, in addition to analysts and treasury managers.

The Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR) is now a well-established compliance reporting requirement for many corporations and their signers. For most, compliance activities are a headache of sorts. They require care and focus but can feel like a distraction. For some companies, treasury handles all or some of the process, while tax takes the lead for others. Surprisingly, there are still far too many misconceptions about what is required.
This session will explore the key requirements of FBAR and the core elements of the process that must be completed. When would a company manage the entire process internally? When does it make sense to get assistance? Knowing what a proper process looks like in the context of the annual calendar can provide helpful structure for those who don’t find compliance to be their burning passion at work. This webinar is aimed at helping you eliminate the worry of FBAR.
