Volatile capital markets influence to an extremely high degree the economic success of many firms in the worldwide competition. In this context a global Liquidity Management and the control of risks due to market changes acquire an increasing significance.
The availability of topical and harmonised management information in a central place is thus a fundamental requirement of modern Treasury.

You work in the finance and treasury division of a national or international firm and are confronted with the following questions:

. Which advantages offers a central Treasury Management?
. What is a Treasury Center and which processes can it handle?
. Where can/should a Treasury Center be settled?
. Which influence has the international accounting on a centralisation of the Treasury   Management?
. Which processes can be supported by the Internet?
. Which potentials can be released through it?
. How does an optimal system support for these activities look like?
. What do modern Treasury Systems achieve?
. Which experiences have made other firms during the introduction of a new Treasury   System?

Get to know within the framework of this seminar organised by ERNST & YOUNG and TRINITY, different approaches to a central control of the Treasury Management and debate them with our experts, so that you can in the future still precisely steer your business.
