Taking Treasury from Reactive to Proactive was generously sponsored by Kyriba.
You would be hard pressed to find any area of business under more stress than the treasury department. Morphing regulatory requirements, shifting foreign currency exposures, international market volatility, fraud, amped-up shareholder expectations—you name it. That’s why treasury can’t afford to remain reactive any longer. It must become proactive.
Proactive Treasury Management is a new approach. It empowers companies to forecast, plan for, and initiate coordinated responses to change. A proactive treasury can help protect cash while opening new means of putting idle cash to work. It creates visibility into the cash flow of even the most complex corporation’s international business units. It can be a key to
helping a company execute its strategic growth plans.
