Making the Best of a Changing World: FTI Treasury Featured in Treasury Today

October 16, 2025

We’re pleased to share that our CEO & Executive Director, Justin Callaghan, was recently featured in Treasury Today’s latest article, “Making the Best of a Changing World”, published in September 2025.

The New Treasury Landscape

The article explores how treasury teams are adapting to an increasingly uncertain global environment, where geopolitical volatility and economic unpredictability have become the norm. As traditional assumptions about international trade and financial markets are being challenged, treasurers must rethink their approach to risk management, technology adoption, and organisational strategy.

The Critical Role of Internal Data

In his contribution to the piece, Justin emphasised a fundamental principle that underpins effective treasury management in volatile times: the paramount importance of reliable internal information.

“Utilising liquidity structures and implementing in-house banking processes to manage cash effectively are essential tools to add value from a treasury perspective,” Justin noted, highlighting that internal information sources remain the key driver in facilitating corporate treasury activities.

He continued: “Decisions around FX hedging, cash planning and other risk management tasks can only be made based on sound core business-based metrics. The better the level and accuracy of internal information available, the better the treasury outcomes.”

Technology Integration as a Value Driver

Justin also addressed the evolving role of treasury technology, emphasising that maximum value comes not just from implementing sophisticated systems, but from effective integration with core business platforms.

“For instance, ERP integration with a forecasting system facilitates visibility of business flows which can then be managed from a treasury perspective,” he explained. “Likewise, integration of bank data and statements lets the treasury function undertake valuable cash reporting processes and variance analysis.”

This perspective aligns with our philosophy at FTI Treasury: that technology should serve as an enabler of better decision-making, built on a foundation of accurate, integrated data.

Looking Ahead

The Treasury Today article features insights from treasury leaders across multiple organisations, all grappling with similar challenges: managing multiple risk scenarios, optimising technology investments, developing future-ready talent, and leveraging emerging technologies like AI.

What unites these perspectives is a recognition that in an uncertain world, treasury’s role has never been more critical—or more strategic. As one contributor noted, “The role of treasury is more prominent and important in these uncertain times.”

At FTI Treasury, we’re proud to be part of this important conversation about the future of corporate treasury management. Our commitment remains focused on helping organisations build resilient, data-driven treasury functions that can navigate whatever challenges lie ahead.
