Global Treasury Benchmarking Survey 2016
Digital Treasury on the Move
In the fourth quarter of 2016, Reval, in association with Treasury Strategies, Standard Chartered Bank, and Zanders, set out to take the pulse of the treasury market, globally. The result is the second edition of the “Global Treasury Benchmarking Survey,” which captures the voice of nearly 1,000 finance professionals. This report summarizes the most critical factors that, respondents say, are adding complexity to the treasury function. It also shows what treasury teams are doing in response as they move forward towards more digital treasury and risk management operations.
