Every organisation needs the ability to understand the future and, while treasurers might not claim superforecaster powers, they are increasingly working with colleagues to develop ‘predictive insights’. In early 2018, the ACT interviewed treasurers in the UK, the rest of the EU, the Middle East, North America, Asia-Pacific and Africa, as part of an ongoing programme of annual research. This report, building on that work, forms the most detailed set of insights yet available into treasury’s role within global business which reveals a continuing, palpable shift in the role of treasurer from finance specialist and information provider to collaborator in strategic decision-making.
