Treasury Services

What EY can do for you

In this ever-evolving environment, shareholders and other stakeholders are increasingly looking for finance teams to demonstrate a clear understanding of how the business operates. They are demanding timely corporate information, efficient audit performance and a commitment to continuous improvement.

Treasury services

The strategic importance and role of the treasury function has continued to evolve over time. The pace of change has been accelerated by disruptive factors, such as bank failures, new regulatory requirements, geopolitical tensions, advanced technologies and the need to be more transparent. In such an environment, a scalable forward-looking treasury function can be important in developing efficient capital structures, protecting cash and assets, mitigating risks, and managing liquidity to support business operations. But achieving the desired operating model can be difficult without guidance.

Commodities services

The continuing globalization of the world’s economies, demand for resources and increased sustainability requirements can affect commodity prices and volatility, impacting a company’s exposure to commodities risks, including credit and liquidity. Companies with significant exposure to commodity risks can often require complex risk management frameworks to help better understand, measure and operate in today’s markets.
