The Evolution of Corporate Treasury

We’re excited about an upcoming session that marks a new chapter in ACTS’ knowledge partnerships –
and a fitting one, given the theme.

For the first time, ACTS is partnering with Kantox, a currency management automation leader
now under BNP Paribas. And since evolution is their business, it felt only right to make this collaboration
the start of our own.

Join us for The Evolution of Corporate Treasury, where we explore how treasury functions are shifting
from manual, reactive processes to real time, strategic engines of value.

Agenda
• Introduction
• The Visibility & Execution Gap (Universal Pain Points):
o The Spreadsheet Trap: Addressing the operational risks of manual data consolidation.
o The FX Reporting Transparency (The “FX Lag”): A deep dive into the inability to track the FX lifecycle, from contract win to invoice generation, and how inaccurate tracking against a reference rate makes it impossible to measure the true impact of currency on margins.
o Strategic Stagnation: Moving from 80% tactical work to 80% strategic oversight. Senior treasury talent is spending 80% of their day on low-value tasks: logging into bank portals, manual reconciliation, and chasing data.

• The European Benchmark – A Case for Maturity:
o From Batches to Real-Time: Share insights on how top-tier European firms have shifted to continuous, automated exposure management.
o The Workflow: Insights into how MNCs manage high volumes with lean, strategic teams.
o Centralized Risk, Decentralized Growth: Using technology to support regional expansion without increasing headcount and managing local currencies to increase competitiveness.

• Strategic Hedging Frameworks (The Modern Playbook):
o Dynamic Hedging: Protecting margins at the transaction level (Order/Invoice).
o Rule-Based Logic: Removing human bias through policy-driven automation.
o Closing the Visibility Loop: Creating a clear audit trail from “Quote to Cash” for precise performance attribution and client pricing.

• The Roadmap to Treasury Transformation:
A “Treasury Maturity Model” diagnostic to help attendees identify where they sit on the automation curve and the steps needed to reach the next level.

• Interactive Discussion: A global perspective on how automation acts as a talent magnet for the next generation of “Digital-First” treasurers.

This session is designed for buy side corporate treasurers looking to evolve – not incrementally, but meaningfully.
