Could your treasury team explain where value is held, how it can be redeemed and how every stablecoin transaction would be reconciled?

On 17 September, Clear Junction will host a practical discussion on how fiat-referenced stablecoins may fit within corporate payments, settlement and liquidity movement.

Teresa Cameron, Group CEO of Clear Junction and former CFO, will be joined by Tara-Grace Dougherty of Federated Hermes Limited and the ACT's very own Naresh Aggarwal.

The panel will explore:
• credible treasury use cases
• ownership and governance
• flow of funds and settlement
• liquidity, redemption and counterparties
• data and reconciliation
• controls and pilot readiness

Attendees will leave with a practical six-point readiness framework.

This month's column maps a summer where geopolitics and economics are heating up in tandem: bond yields marching higher, interest costs swallowing public spending, and Fed Chair Kevin Warsh hinting at more work to do. Against that, geopolitical and trade fault lines are widening.

A read for anyone who no longer treats geopolitics as background noise.

Every treasury team can find dozens of things AI could do. Few can afford to do all of them.

So how do you choose where to invest?

This value–investment framework helps treasurers weigh what an AI application is worth against what it takes to deliver:

✅ Personal productivity – summarising reports, saving expert time
✅ Process & control – spotting recurring exceptions and forecast bias
✅ Decision support – anticipating when an account might become constrained
✅ Strategic impact – shaping liquidity buffers, funding and resilience

The catch: the higher you climb, the more data, cost and control you need. The most sophisticated application isn't automatically the best investment, nor is the quickest win.

Help support the development of treasury apprenticeships! 📢

We have submitted two draft proposals that are pending approval with Skills England for a new level four and level six corporate treasurer apprenticeship standard.

As part of the consultation period, we would like to invite our members and the wider community to review the proposed assessment plans and provide any feedback to support the approval process. You can review the assessment plans (AAP) and complete the survey here: https://okt.to/d32pPG

The closing date is 30th August and we would appreciate it if any surveys could be submitted by then.

We would like to thank you for your support with this work which could create new ways to develop treasury skills via the apprenticeship route and utilise the levy funding.
