Webinar: AR’s Role in Meeting Treasury Goals | January 25
Treasury has a heavy focus on ensuring the organization has adequate liquidity. Accounts receivable (AR) plays a vital role in ensuring cash is collected quickly and consistently. The abilities of the order-to-collect team to 1) make better credit management decisions, 2) speed up collection activities, and 3) process payments more accurately and efficiently drive better results for both AR and treasury. This webinar discusses how the AR function can and must help deliver on the overall financial commitments that are needed to reach the working capital and liquidity targets of the organization.
Webinar: Liquidity Risk Survey Results | January 23
The Liquidity Risk Survey was first run in 2011, probing treasury and finance practitioners on their views surrounding managing liquidity, investing, borrowing, and various risks. This webinar will cover highlights from the survey’s most recent iteration. With a total of 11 years of longitudinal data, the webinar will consider shifts over time in areas such as counterparty exposure monitoring, investment vehicle use, ESG programs, the relative prioritization of safety, liquidity, and yield, and more.
Webinar: Treasury Management Systems & Enterprise Liquidity Management | January 11
The treasury management system (TMS) automates and streamlines treasury’s core tasks, forming a central dashboard for the treasury function and freeing staff for more strategic work. Recent years have seen some TMS vendors expanding into enterprise-wide solutions for tracking and managing liquidity, giving rise to the distinct enterprise liquidity management (ELM) category. From the basic TMS to the highly advanced TMS and the more comprehensive ELM system, each solution serves a segment of treasury departments. This webinar will cover the current TMS and ELM landscapes, innovations, and leading practices for selection and implementation.
