Agenda Day 1

2:50 PM INTERACTIVE PANEL DISCUSSION WITH AUDIENCE Q&A – How can a treasury group manage the impact of major company changes?

Treasury groups have a critical role in ensuring the successful delivery of many of the significant decisions taken by a business. Whether going through an IPO, purchasing a new company or going through a merger, or looking at ongoing business needs such as expansion or growth plans, the treasury team have to manage many of the processes inherent in ensuring the activity is successfully undertaken.

Bringing the treasury team into the decision-making process at an early stage is critical; indeed, activities such as purchases and mergers can potentially stall due to treasury integration challenges alone. As such, this panel discussion will aim to focus on the following:

How can treasury teams ensure their voice – and therefore needs – are heard BEFORE a fundamental business decision is taken?
What should the role of treasury be when advising on fundamental business change? Where should the influence extend to, and what is “out of scope”? How can this differ from company to company?
War stories and best practice – what practical advice can be given to help with ongoing change?
