Every organisation needs the ability to understand future trends, and The Business of Treasury helps to cast light on the priorities and concerns for the future of treasury. In February and March 2021, the ACT interviewed 180 treasurers in the UK, mainland Europe, the Middle East, North America, Asia-Pacific and Africa, as part of an ongoing programme of annual research - the only international survey of qualified treasurers by a professional treasury association. This report - the ninth we have published - forms the most detailed set of insights available into treasury’s role within global business.
This annual research study is critical to our understanding of the underlying treasury trends, and the big issues for treasurers. Of course, this year the research focuses on changes through the pandemic, but how will that affect the future direction of treasurers’ working lives, the position of treasury within organisations, and the future of treasury?
