The agility you need for profitable growthCanada’s conservative banking policies helped maintain stability throughout the crisis. But corporates seeking growth are doing business regionally and globally, which means volatility and risk are on going facts of life. How can you strengthen your cash management and treasury processes to ensure global visibility and control of your risks?

EuroFinance’s event in Toronto looks at some of the main challenges for corporates operating in Canada and globally. These include regulation, counterparty risk and international payments. How should you manage your credit lines and short-term investments going forward? Bank credit risk is under scrutiny, especially for banks out-side Canada, but risks throughout the supply chain are an increasing concern.

Other topics on the agenda are the evolving payments industry in Canada, which is moving quickly towards the digital age. Corporates are also in need of advanced, streamlined treasury technology. Find out more about the latest treasury platforms on the market and how do you select the best one for your needs.

08:00 REGISTRATION, REFRESHMENTS AND EXHIBITION OPENS

09:10 Crunching the economy: The views that count

With an eye on the struggling US economy and European attempts to kick the crisis, it’s difficult to distinguish the news that matters amid the cacophony of voices declaring hair-raising economic indicators, dubious predictions and false hopes of stability. Here are the numbers and views that count to discuss the financial road ahead. Can the US make steps towards a sustainable tax and spending plan? How will developments in China affect exports and trade? Can we hope for a resolution to the European sovereign and banking crisis? These perspectives will shed light on the road ahead as the economy evolves in 2013 and beyond. Robert Powell, Global Manager - Risk Briefing, Economist Intelligence Unit, USA

10:00 Realities for treasury in the big wide world

This is treasury on the big stage. When you work for the world’s largest supranational, managing portfolios that stretch into the billions and moving money in countries that can be intensely unstable you need an innovative way of looking at the world. All the while you need an approach that embeds the maximum amount of financial inclusivity into everything you do. Local bank partnering demands a high level of counterparty risk assessment. You need a clear view on currency hedging, as your payables and receivables include some of the world’s softest currencies. This speaker has seen both sides – that of being an investor and borrower – and can share his experience of risk management from many angles across a complex organization. What lessons can be learned at a corporate level? Pedro Guazo Alonso, Director of Finance, United Nations, USA

10:40 REFRESHMENT BREAk

11:20 Smooth liquidity: Best practice cash management in volatile times

The challenges of cash management in an unstable global environment are legion. What are the best practices that will keep cash flows healthy and safe? Interest-rate uncertainty and FX are both cash concerns. Instability in the capital markets is also causing financing woe. Cross-border pooling and interest balancing can be difficult processes to master but your liquidity depends on ensuring you have smooth operations in place. How much cash should you hold on your balance sheets? When and where should you consider reinvesting? How proactive should you be in managing investments and how much risk should you carry in your portfolio? Tim Herrod, Director, Treasury, Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan, Canada

12:00 Treasury Verdict: Vote to decide

EuroFinance runs events in over 30 markets and speaks to several thousand treasurers and CFOs each year around the globe through its research programs and networking groups. How do your views compare with those of the rest of the world? This session features polling on topical issues from business confidence to growth opportunities, risks and regulation. An expert panel of treasury professionals is on hand to analyse the trends and deepen the discussion. Tim Herrod, Director, Treasury, Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan, Canada Jan-Martin Nufer, Director Treasury and Funding, Borealis Group, Austria Kenneth W. Hotz, Executive Director& Manager Global Solutions Sales, J.P. Morgan, USA

12:50 LUNCH

14:15 Evaluating your TMS choices: Looking for ‘the one’

How can you get the best out of your treasury management system (TMS)? What functionality will really make a difference? How much visibility into your cash operations do systems actually allow? Software as a service (Saas) is often talked about. What are the benefits and how does Saas work in practice? Support in your time zone is also a key consideration. Will further consolidation in this fast-evolving market bring about improved functionality and efficiency? Hear views on how to evaluate systems and choose one to fit your needs. Graeme Williamson, Treasurer, Bain & Company, USA Donna Singh, Assistant Treasurer, Celestica, Canada Siddarth Ranganathan, Senior Treasury Manager - TMS & US Cash, Tyco, USA

15:00 Cross-border treasury for North America

The structure of your treasury is fundamental to all other efficient financial processes. Get it right and your accounting, FX and cash optimization will fall into place more easily. Striking the right balance between centralization and local expertise isn’t easy. Regional treasuries can act as advisors on local issues such as reporting, accounting, tax – not to mention language. They have specific knowledge in each country. So what makes most sense? This corporate outlines how they weighed up the benefits of local versus centralized and came up with a balanced treasury structure. Paola Farnesi, CPA, CA, ICD.D, Vice President & Treasurer, Domtar Corporation, Canada Hany Naguib, Managing Director, Treasury Sales Executive, GTS Canada, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Canada

15:40 REFRESHMENT BREAk

16:20 Counterparty risk: How do you rate your banks, suppliers and customers?

CCounterparty risk is hypothetical until something actually goes wrong. But as many found during 2007-2009, things can go very wrong. That’s when your counterparty risks could come back to bite you on the bottom line. US and European banks were the problem in 2008. Since then, companies have wised up – the tables have turned and now the banks are under scrutiny. People are no longer putting all their eggs in one basket. Companies are also paying more attention to counterparty risk in their supply chain. So how should you ensure you are assessing your risks correctly? Is analysis from ratings agencies sufficient or do you need customized detail? We will explore the pro’s and con’s of securitization, factoring and reverse factoring as alternative financing solutions. Jan-Martin Nufer, Director Treasury and Funding, Borealis Group, Austria

Treasury Verdict Day 1 - 11:40Voting session capturing the viewpoint of corporate treasurers on up-to-the-minute issues.

Conference chaired by:Dr Edwin Weinstein, President, Brondesbury Group, Toronto

08:00 REFRESHMENTS AND EXHIBITION OPENS

09:00 Risk management: When it is rocket science

When your business is putting human lives and billions of dollars of equipment up in space, you had better have the best risk manage-ment available in the universe. Nasa is facing dramatic changes, but it needs to remain the best. What are the risk processes and technologies necessary to manage risk on manned space programs when budgets are no longer as infinite as space? How do you manage with restructured missions and objectives and evolving partnerships with commercial space launch vendors? This session explores and explains the risk processes and tools used. It has to be possible to develop risk mitigation plans and to communicate risk information and status when projects are under way with a variety of new stakeholders. Importantly, what are the lessons learned from space-age risk management implementation, and how can your company use them too? Dr. Jeevan Perera, Senior Engineer, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, USA

09:50 Regulatory medicine and how to stay healthy

No one could miss the irony of Canadian banks complying with rules of good behavior set by US and European regulators. While the big six weathered the financial crisis with feathers largely unruffled, they are now having to take on board regulations such as Dodd-Frank and the Volcker rule as well as the revised Basel III. What are the knock-on effects for corporates? The cost of capital will rise – how will this impact the cost of managing risk through the use of derivatives for corporates transacting with banks? Jason Boggs, Partner, Consulting & Deals, PWC, Canada

10:30 REFRESHMENT BREAk

11:00 Check up on payments: The digital age is here

The payments market is undergoing a shake-up. In 2012, the Canadian Task Force on Payments published its paper ‘Moving Canada into the Digital Age’, which advocated a full systems overhaul. This session explores where the payments industry should go from here. Should banks own the payments infrastruc-ture? In the continued shift towards e-payments, is there still room for the check and how will the transition to image-based clearing affect this? Jennifer Ramsey-Armorer, Director, Teasury, Blackberry, Canada Graeme Williamson, Treasurer, Bain & Company, USA Fay Freiman, VP Global Business Payment Products - GTB, Scotiabank, Canada

11:50 Treasury automation: Integration for better FX risk management

Mankind has been assessing risk since the dawn of time. From the first footprints spotted on the savannah, to today’s complex world of FX, counterparties and interest rates: risk evaluation is innate. Luckily help is at hand for measuring and assessing today’s complex exposures. Automated treasury processes, integration with in-house systems and automated FX trade executions are some of the mainstays of good corporate IT practice for effective FX risk management. Michael O’Neill, FX Consultant, IFXA Ltd , Canada

12:30 LUNCH

14:00 Europe on your radar: Simplifying your trade, payments and accounts

The EU is Canada’s second biggest merchandise export market – a relationship in the process of being cemented through the CETA (the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement with the European Union). But whether you export to or import from Europe , the SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area) initiative should be on your radar. Why does SEPA matter and how will you benefit? Does the February 2014 deadline impact you? The time to act and prepare is now. Find out what steps you can take to become SEPA compliant in time. Guy Simons, Assistant Treasurer, TRW Automotive, USA

14:40 Making your treasury a proactive business partner

This company has aligned its treasury so it helps the company achieve its financial objectives. In order to achieve this, it works hard on gaining full visibility of inflows and outflows and risks, and on collaborating with other teams to drive profitable growth. Putting internal funds to optimum use – timing accounts payable and receivables, matching them and being involved in working capital management are all part of the picture. Communication of what it is treasury does, and how it can help the company move forward, is vital. Hear about the metrics treasury uses and its approach to visibility and communications. Jeffrey McConaghy, Vice President, Corporate Treasurer, Celestica, Canada

15:20 REFRESHMENT BREAk

16:00 Job done: Risk policy frameworks and compliance

Treasury may not always have its hands around global insurance risks, but this treasury has. It went right back to the nuts and bolts of why it needed a global insurance program in the first place. For that, it asked itself a variety of risk-related questions. What were the risks and legal requirements of each jurisdiction? It then identified the various classes of risks. It also looked hard at its corporate risk policy and matched the risks it had identified with its own tolerance levels. That helped it set up the framework it needed for managing a program worldwide. From there flowed the task of selecting its brokers, insurance carriers, policy limits and deducti-bles. Where is it now with its relationships, and what has it learned? Muhammad Rehman, Treasury Manager, Dundee Precious Metals, Canada

16:40 Big neighbours: Big buyers

For corporate treasury and finance professionals, it always pays to know what your biggest neighbours and biggest customers are liable to be up to in the near future. This session gives a brief guided tour of the economic landscape of your biggest markets, concentrating on the US and Asia. What is the outlook over the next year, in terms of growth and monetary policy? And what are going to be the main drivers - both demographic and economic - facing them in the next five years? Gabriel Stein, Managing Director, Stein Brothers, UK
