SUMMARY:Webinar - Asia: Leading the Global Recovery?
DESCRIPTION:ACTS is proud to be endorsing Eurofinance and supporting the webinar on Tue\, Jul 21\, 2020 4:30 PM – 5:30 PM CST where the panel will discuss on Asia: Leading the Global Recovery? \nAsia looks set to recover from the global Covid crisis faster than the rest of the world\, just as it did in 2009\, when China’s growth hit 9% overtaking Japan to become the second biggest economy in the world. Yet this prediction might be derailed by ongoing global demand shocks\, massive outflows from emerging market funds\, falls in FDI flows into the region and weakening currencies. Either way\, it’s going to be an extremely challenging environment for treasury in the APAC region in 2020. In this webinar we explore the challenges for companies in both recovery and contraction scenarios. \nPanelists: \nPaul Nicholson\, Senior Content Producer\, EuroFinance \nXuelin Chen\, Director\, Group Treasury\, Trip.com Group Ltd \nStephen Hogan\, VP Regional Treasury Asia Pacific\, Deutsche Post DHL \nSeng Ti Goh\, Senior General Manager Finance & Administrations\, Isuzu Motors \n  \nRegister !

SUMMARY:Webinar - ACTS x Deloitte: COVID-19: Recover and Thrive for Corporate Treasury
DESCRIPTION:Thriving in Volatile Times\nThe COVID-19 outbreak has caused huge disruptions in people’s lives and created significant challenges to organisations.

Changes in consumer spending and market demand will also reshape the economic landscape locally and globally. \nIn this webinar in collaboration with Deloitte\, we will explore how corporate treasury could thrive on and recover gradually along this journey by looking at relationships between internal and external stakeholders\, changes in working capital strategies\, funding sources as well as treasury operations in order to meet the evolving business needs. \nDeloitte Treasury Advisory will be doing a short presentation followed by an exclusive industry panel with treasurers from Isuzu Motors\, Paypal and Rio Tinto sharing their experience and vision in thriving on during this crisis. \n  \nModerator: \n  \nFrançois-Dominique Doll  \nPartner \nGlobal Treasury Advisory Services – Deloitte Singapore \nWith over 15 years of Global Treasury experience he has worked on multiple capital market and treasury management systems for Thomson Reuters and SunGard (now FIS).

DESCRIPTION:Join us in our collaboration with SAP Concur! \nThe CFO Perspective Live Webcast Series: \nRecover Your Business:\nImproving Strategic Cash Flow and Liquidity to Ensure a Safe and Successful Relaunch of Economic Activity \nWith economic disruption\, predicting cash flow is more important than ever and also more difficult. The time to plan your reboot of your business is now – as restrictions ease and lockdowns are lifted. \nOver the past five years\, the Asia-Pacific region has shown a slight deterioration in overall Net Working Capital (NWC) performance\, according to PwC. In this rapidly evolving COVID-19 environment\, every extra dollar tied up is becoming even more costly and there is an increasing urgency for businesses\, to optimise their working capital. \nAs part of its ongoing web series\, Association of Corporate Treasurers Singapore (ACTS) is partnering SAP Concur to host a webinar to help organizations better understand how to maximize their ability to bridge the cash flow gap. \nJoin us for a live webinar to learn how to: \n\nManage cash flows and liquidity with a mind to grow easily and effectively when the economy reopens\nReclaim VAT to generate cash and reduce operational expenditure\nIncrease stringency around approval of supplier and customer payments\, monitor cash inflows and outflows\nUse AI and machine learning to optimize cash flow and working capital\nLeverage data analytics to take advantage of favorable terms in negotiations and payment strategies\nGet upfront visibility and control of large purchases\n\nRegister ! \nUnable to attend\, just \, a replay will be sent you. \nTo help us tailor the webcast to your interests\, we are conducting a short survey (3mins) to understand your current key business concerns and how your company has optimized cash flow to minimize the impact of economic disruption.

SUMMARY:Webinar - ACTS x DBS x SWIFT: KYC Registry for Corporates
DESCRIPTION:In this day and age\, corporates holding multiple bank accounts across the globe often face an uphill battle to comply with KYC processes\, which is time and resource consuming. \nTo address these\, customers can now access SWIFT’s KYC registry and upload relevant KYC information centrally. This enables customers to share their information with selected banks rather than having to liaise with each of them individually. \nIn collaboration with DBS and SWIFT\, join us in this exclusive webinar where they will be sharing more on corporate KYC challenges\, features of the complimentary SWIFT registry and how it can benefit corporates especially during these challenging times.
