Why attend

The ongoing pandemic has again raised the age-old questions around treasury departments and their need to have access to real-time intraday data.

Although a pandemic is not the only reason a bank should look at its capabilities – it has highlighted the need for a real-time intraday messaging. However, the more pressing questions are what looks good from a system, process, and governance perspective, as well as what is expected from the regulator, and how do banks compare against each other when it comes to running a treasury department? The end goal however is to become a treasury department that is efficient, compliant and maximising benefits. Many leading organisations are already benefiting from access data real time, intraday but, what does this really mean and how do you achieve it?

👉🏼What a good treasury department looks like
👉🏼What tools are needed in order to achieve this
