Session Description:

AI is shifting treasury from task automation toward real-time, intelligence-driven decision-making with direct impact on forecasting, liquidity, risk, and controls. As these capabilities mature, treasurers must adapt to a blended human and digital workforce while redefining governance, talent, and accountability models. This panel examines how AI is reshaping treasury strategies, technology architecture, and the role of the treasurer, focusing on what organizations are already applying today and what is emerging next. How banks and technology providers are embedding AI into workflows such as fraud detection, bank account management, and operations is also discussed.

Learning Objectives: 

  • Evaluate how AI is being applied across treasury functions today—including forecasting, liquidity, risk, and controls—and identify where it can be operationally embedded to improve decision-making.
  • Develop strategies to adapt treasury operating models for AI adoption, including governance, talent, and cross-functional collaboration with banks, FP&A, and technology providers.
