Establishing Strong Treasury Policies to Drive Operational Excellence

Monday, October 27, 2025 – 08:30 AM – 09:30 AM ET

Corporate finance and treasury teams play a critical role in funding enterprise operations and enabling strategic growth. Optimizing cash and liquidity resources is essential to achieving these objectives, but success requires more than just financial oversight-it demands a strong treasury policy that fosters a cash-conscious culture across the organization. Effective treasury governance sets operational standards and enforces financial discipline, ensuring that business units align with corporate liquidity and risk management goals. By integrating treasury policy with broader business operations, organizations can drive efficiency, enhance decision-making, and create a sustainable framework for long-term financial health.

Treasury’s Role in Driving Working Capital Optimization Leveraging Supply Chain Finance

Monday, October 27, 2025 – 10:30 AM – 11:30 AM ET

Supply chain disruptions during Covid emphasized the direct impact on a company’s financial health spurring companies to explore alternative strategies to free up liquidity and seek out working capital solution in Supply Chain Finance (SCF). SCF differs from typical financing arrangements as it involves multiple stakeholders, including treasury, procurement, finance, accounting, IT, and suppliers. From a treasurer’s perspective, these perceived complexities could potentially hinder implementation and stall progress toward improving working capital metrics. This session explores the diverse aspects of SCF, recent developments, such as Sustainable SCF, to help treasurers make informed decisions about SCF adoption.

Converging Cash Forecasting: Bridging the Gap Between FP&A and Treasury

Tuesday, October 28, 2025 – 02:00 PM – 03:00 PM ET

Is perfect cash forecasting a realistic goal or an idealistic pursuit? Many organizations struggle with fragmented forecasting processes-Treasury often bases forecasts on actual cash positions, while FP&A relies on balance sheet data and future business plans. This disconnect can result in conflicting and incomplete views of the organization’s cash position, leading to missed opportunities for cash optimization. This session provides practical strategies to unify Treasury and FP&A forecasts, leveraging advanced technologies, improving data accuracy, and managing external uncertainties.
