Corporate Treasury & Risk Advisory

Our Corporate Treasury and Risk Advisory team consists of experts who leverage their extensive treasury and risk management experience to serve a broad range of corporate clients across every industry sector. We support the Treasurer and the CFO, advising on treasury strategy, governance and reporting, accounting, cash management and risk management in a corporate setting. We also support management in identifying the optimal allocation of financial resources and efficiently managing asset liability risk and liquidity profile.

Treasury Strategy

We support our clients in their transformation of Treasury into a strategic function. This does not only entail expanding the scope of treasury activities, but requires a continued emphasis on designing, implementing, and maintaining the right policies, infrastructure, people, organization, decision support tools and systems to deliver on organizational goals. We assess the current maturity level of the Treasury department by applying our framework: Deloitte Treasury Cube. Moreover, since both internal and external stakeholder management is critical to success, we support our clients to define, design, implement, and monitor a stakeholder management system. We assist clients to link corporate treasury metrics to financial metrics that are important for the company.  In addition to traditional liquidity management metrics, we focus on strategic risk metrics (e.g. risk management solutions that enhance returns), strategic business metrics (e.g. structuring initiatives, value chain financing) and external stakeholder management (e.g. excess of return on equity vs return on equity or company WACC vs industry WACC).
