Global Economic Outlook

Concurrent Topic Roundtable 1 
Risk Management: It’s All About Risk
10:00-11:30 am
In today’s increasingly volatile world and financial markets, business and the business of finance and treasury is all about managing risks. And there seem to be so many out there: Counterparty risk (suppliers, customers, banks), FX risk, liquidity risk, operational risks. Discuss with your peers how they are managing these risks. Also, who has embarked on or is thinking of doing so regarding ERM? How does the management of risk play into performance?

Concurrent Topic Roundtable 2
Treasury Operations: Tips on Productivity: How Do You Get Everything Done?
10:00-11:30 am    
There are a lot of moving parts that connect every day in treasury between managing cash (globally), currency and interest rate exposures, and making short term investments, all the while watching your counterparty risks. Then there are the projects you’re working on such as installing a TWS or even as big as an ERP system, as well as the purchase-to-pay cycle or setting up a SSC. The list goes on. How are treasurers juggling all their day-to-day tasks along with all their projects?

Networking Lunch
11:45 am – 12:30 pm

Concurrent Topic Roundtable 3
Strategic Role of Treasury and Measuring Performance with Scorecards
12:30 – 1:45 pm    
Over the past few years the role of the treasurer has morphed into a multi-faceted and highly visible position. The treasurer is now more involved in corporate finance and capital structure decisions, pension management, insurance, and driving global liquidity initiatives. With liquidity being the primary focus in most organizations, the treasurer now has the spotlight, not only answering to the CFO, but now to the CEO, the audit committee, the full board and analysts and investors. So how is everyone coping in this new, high-pressure environment? And what are people doing to communicate the role of treasury across the entire company? And as treasury wants to take on more responsibility in the organization, the first question is how are you performing today? So how are treasurers’ reports (scorecards) on their performance supporting their ability to take on more?


Concurrent Topic Roundtable 4
Funding the Organization and Bank Relationship Management
12:30 – 1:45 pm    
In this session we’ll review how companies are funding their organization with a focus on accessing capital markets and incorporating bank relationship management.  Come and discuss your approach to allocating bank fees and how you factor the capital markets side of the equation into the formula.  What unique approaches to funding have you done since the last time you went to market?   The coming year will be another cliff year for credit revolver renewals- discuss your approach and concerns if any and how it might affect your bank relationships and capital planning decisions.
