Acting in silos often comes easily to treasury, AR, and other areas, but the silo mindset is restrictive and limited. A comprehensive view, one that looks at the full process and all participants, offers far greater value for the organization and its partners. This view not only includes an end-to-end look within the company, but also includes external counterparties. “Optimizing part of the process suboptimizes the whole,” as the famous quote says, and optimizing the entire process requires an end-to-end to end-to-end look. This session explores how to:
• Improve overall treasury performance (liquidity, visibility, scalability)
• Strengthen AR (automation, reporting, defect reduction)
• Identify the parties that need to be part of the decision discussions
• Use third parties to secure trusted advice and understand leading practices

Complexity caused by additional payment times is adding to historical pain points found in accounts receivable (AR). Poor processes and outdated technology impact every part of AR and create a negative echo effect on liquidity, scalability, efficiency and staff. This session will explain why the challenges have increased and examine ways that companies’ AR and treasury groups are revolutionizing cash application to great effect. The use of technology such as AI/ML, bots, and integration of data and processes are all changing AR. The theory will be supported by several select case studies to bring the concepts to the practical level.
