With unpredictable rate cycles, fragmented data, and rising regulatory pressure, treasury is no longer a back-office function — it’s a strategic command centre.
CFOs and treasurers leading the way are redefining their approach across three critical pillars: visibility, flexibility, and control. Here’s how they’re doing it — and how you can, too.
From Fragmented Data to a Single Source of Truth
The problem: Treasury data is often siloed across spreadsheets, systems, and subsidiaries — delaying decisions and hiding risk.
The winners: Digital banks and agile institutions are investing in real-time treasury dashboards that unify cash positions, exposures, and forecasts across the enterprise.
They’re using tools like Siena to:
- See real-time liquidity by region, currency, and entity
- Monitor intraday balances and short-term funding requirements
- Automate reporting for faster month-end close
📊 The result? Decisions based on insight, not instinct.
Turning Volatility into a Strategic Advantage
The problem: Interest rate hikes, geopolitical shocks, and market swings have made traditional cash flow models obsolete.
The winners: Leading treasurers are adopting scenario modelling and stress testing capabilities — not just to survive volatility, but to profit from it.
This means:
- Simulating FX and rate shocks across portfolios
- Testing multiple funding and investment scenarios
- Planning for regulatory or macroeconomic stress
🔍 Resilience is no longer reactive — it’s modelled, planned, and proactive.
Automating Compliance Without Losing Control
The problem: Regulatory expectations are rising, especially around payments, liquidity reporting, and capital adequacy. Manual processes just can’t keep up.
The winners: Best-in-class treasury teams are embedding compliance into their workflows, from the way payments are routed to how limits are enforced.
With platforms like Siena, this includes:
- Pre-trade limit checks and alerting
- Full visibility of expected cashflows
- Built-in controls for regulatory compliance (MiFID II, EMIR, etc.)
- Automated audit trails across treasury operations
🛡️ Control isn’t just about preventing risk — it’s about proving you’re in control.
Treasury as a Strategic Lever
The most successful CFOs don’t just see treasury as a risk function — they see it as a lever for profitability, resilience, and growth.
Whether you’re navigating interest rate pressure, regulatory complexity, or global liquidity fragmentation, these three tactics can help you win — with the right tools behind you.
