In an environment of global instability, which has impacted all areas of the treasury function, managing liquidity and accurate cash forecasting has become ever-more critical for treasury departments. Treasuries have a critical role in helping reduce business risk by helping drive a better use of cash and reduce the reliance on external capital for business growth, but the drive for optimized cash management and forecasting is a challenge to successfully implement:

• Why is forecasting such a critical issue, and what benefits does this offer for an organisation?
• How can an enhanced focus on cash management mitigate macroeconomic risks and move treasury from support function to trusted business partner? What steps do they need to take to achieve this aim?
• Are there technologies (i.e. AI) which can improve cash management and forecasting, and what impact can they potentially have?
