Treasury departments often use a diverse ecosystem of systems that inevitably require seamless integration to provide the support needed to influence decision-making. Data often remains siloed in different systems, hindering a single, accurate view of cash, but it doesn’t have to. This session highlights how automation is reshaping treasury operations—from transaction processing to reporting and compliance. Participants explore real-world use cases, implementation strategies, and the technologies driving efficiency, accuracy, and scalability in treasury functions. 

Learning Objectives:

• Identify treasury processes that are most suitable for automation and how to prioritize them
• Understand how automation can reduce operational risk and free up resources for strategic initiatives

This session provides attendees with practical guidance on standardizing documentation, managing global bank relationships, and leveraging technology to streamline compliance. 

Learning Objectives:

• Discover best practices for organizing and maintaining bank account documentation across jurisdictions
• Gain insights into automating KYC processes to reduce manual effort and improve compliance readiness

Learning Objectives:

• Learn which KPIs are most relevant for modern treasury teams and how to benchmark them
• Explore tools and dashboards that help visualize performance and support data-driven decisions
