Editorial

A thriving corporate community

Welcome to our special print edition for 2025. What a treat to see our signature red in print again in a special long shelf-life publication dedicated to our growing, global corporate community.

Founded 27 years ago, Treasury Today Group has continually evolved, and this special edition aims to showcase our diverse content streams under one umbrella to celebrate their growth and impact. It is a chance to explore the purpose and influence of all our programmes, and we hope they encourage more of you to get involved.

Prominent amongst them is our flagship initiative, the Adam Smith Awards. Established in 2008, this global programme has become the benchmark for best practice in corporate treasury and finance across the world, from the smallest to the largest organisations’ finance teams who all demonstrate innovation and collaboration and redefine industry best practice.

We also look at our thriving Women in Treasury & Finance global network, launched in 2013, which hosts forums and workshops, our associated awards, and publishes the annual Global Equity Study. This award winning initiative celebrates women in treasury, their allies and is a platform offering role models and inspiration for the next generation.

In 2024 we launched the Future Treasury & Finance Leaders Forums, exclusive peer gathering where Adam Smith Award alumni and leading financial professionals meet around the world to share insights and best practice. The programme has expanded and now has been hosted in Amsterdam, Mumbai, Palo Alto, New York, London, Singapore and Hong Kong with further locations to be added in 2026.

These gatherings focus on the skills, expertise and leadership qualities required for the modern corporate landscape. Community thrives when people come together, and this programme offers another opportunity to strengthen connections, share purpose and create lasting impact.

We also showcase our newer content streams like the Ask A CFO podcast series. These conversations delve into the professional and personal journeys of global CFOs, uncovering the origin stories and varied paths to becoming a Chief Financial Officer and encouraging a more diverse next generation into the role.

In this exclusive print edition, our editorial team also examines some of the most significant trends shaping treasury today. We speak with corporate treasurers from around the world about their typical day and explore the transformative potential of AI. Treasurers have worked hard to secure their place at the top table of corporate decision-making, and another feature looks at treasury transformation and how to maintain that hard-won influence.

Finally, we address the impact of an increasingly uncertain world on treasury. In an era where unpredictability is the new normal, treasury teams must remain agile, ensuring their organisations’ financial resilience against ongoing challenges.

This special edition will have a limited print run for select distribution channels and key partners. It will also be available digitally across our own platforms during the autumn conference and events season.

Enjoy!
