From Complexity to Clarity

DEME’s Evolving Treasury Journey

As a global, project-driven business, DEME’s treasury operates in an environment where complexity is the norm. This case study charts the company’s evolution from a decentralised set-up to a mature, centralised treasury function with stronger controls, clearer visibility, and a broader strategic mandate. Along the way, DEME has tightened governance over banking, embedded compliance earlier in the transaction lifecycle, and begun closing long-standing gaps in cash flow forecasting. It also offers a candid look at how treasury is approaching ESG-linked financing and the potential, and limits, of AI in a real-world setting.
