The collapse of Lehman Brothers led other banks to collapse, showing how contagion can spread quickly. The crisis provided lessons for us all, heightening awareness among risk and treasury professionals of just how damaging a meltdown elsewhere can be. Thankfully risk management has come on leaps and bounds in recent years, and technology has played a large part in that. Risk consultancy firm CheckRisk [https://check-risk.com/about/] has created BankFox, software that allows users to monitor a bank’s distance to distress to help treasurers measure and assess risks, and how the risk that could build up at one bank might spread to others. In this podcast, Dr Edmund Barter, lead data scientist at CheckRisk, looks at how the global banking network is connected and how understanding the risks is the system can be paramount. Using the 2008 banking crisis and the more modern example of the Coronavirus potentially impacting the global economy, Barter demonstrates how risk can spread through entry points – which are often banks that deal with foreign economies that are more prone to upheaval.

Treasury Live: Dealing with unprecedented levels of change [https://www.theglobaltreasurer.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Treasury-talks-DC.png] [https://www.theglobaltreasurer.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Treasury-talks-DC.png] In the latest episode of our Treasury Live Podcast, we talk to Royston da Costa, Assistant Group Treasurer at Ferguson plc. This podcast discusses how treasurers are dealing with unprecedented levels of change. Royston told us recently that, despite having been in treasury for over 30 years, he can honestly state that he has never experienced a more significant time in the evolution of the profession than now. With this in mind, we discuss the following: * Why Royston thinks today is such a significant time in treasury’s evolution than ever before? * Where he thinks treasury is heading? * What skills, therefore, treasurers need? * Royston’s views on technology and why it is clearly a key driver of change within treasury and what has the potential to be a game changer? * From his experiences, the tips and tricks he can share with fellow treasurers when it comes to digital transformation and change? * How an effective transformation strategy can be developed? * And finally, why there are parallels between treasury evolution and the moon landings!

In this latest episode of our Treasury Live series, we discuss why, in today’s volatile business world, treasurers need to enhance liquidity, diversify counterparty risk and maximise yield, perhaps more than they ever have before. In short, it’s time treasurers made their organisation’s cash work harder. Discussing this topic in more detail is Bobby Jackson, Managing Director at FXD Capital [https://www.fxdcapital.com/], who use their experience in treasury, cash, cash equivalent instruments and liquidity management to bridge the gap between depositor and bank. Topics covered include: * The need for enhanced access to cash and liquidity in today’s economic climate * How corporate treasurers can make their cash work harder and maximize its value * The options available to organizations when it comes to enhancing returns * If this means treasurers should be looking beyond their banks and challenging the status quo in order to balance risk and returns We hope you enjoy the podcast – let us know your thoughts – and do get in touch if you would like to feature in future episodes.
