An evolving set of players

Our latest edition of Treasury Today Asia is full of topics and trends that have been front of mind for us throughout the course of 2024. As our universe of corporates evolves and expands to incorporate other finance functions and follows certain treasury professionals as they continue up the ladder this issue seems to typify this evolving network somewhat.

As our latest issue drops this September, so too sees the launch of Treasury Today Group’s new passion project, our Ask A CFO podcast series. It is therefore very fitting that in this edition we take a glance elsewhere within the C-suite, exploring the new roles and functions located within the upper echelons of corporations and exploring the impact these changes are having on treasury professionals across the world.

Today, C-suite leaders across the world should be firmly focused on sustainable and inclusive growth. All those operating within treasury and finance must be similarly minded. In our latest edition, we explore what sustainable and inclusive growth really means, look at how these terms intertwine, and address the involvement of treasury professionals in delivering returns when it comes to company targets and commitments within this space.

We will also be exploring the interactions between treasury and procurement departments, something which we are addressing more and more frequently in our conversations with our corporate community across the world. With some high-profile hires from treasury into procurement and, with career paths no longer as straightforward as in the past, it is vital the treasurers of today develop the knowledge and skills to communicate and collaborate with other functions within their corporations.

Elsewhere we explore real use cases for AI in cash management going beyond hype to uncover the help such developments can actually bring to treasury departments. We also offer a regional focus on a country which has fascinated our editorial team for some time now, Vietnam. We will be speaking with more and more corporates from this rapidly evolving player in Asia and hope many Vietnamese corporates will have nominated themselves within our Adam Smith Awards Asia awards programme this year. Keep an eye out for our Winners announcement on October 8th.
