Episode 7

Reflections on 2021

Over the past year, treasurers have managed the challenges of remote working, rapidly evolving business models, digitisation and an unprecedented focus on environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues.

Just as treasurers have adapted, Journeys to Treasury, now in its sixth year, has been reinvented to provide more dynamic content throughout the year to support treasurers on their own journey. This year, we have released six podcasts on the topics on which treasurers expressed most interest in this year’s EACT survey. The content of these podcasts forms the basis of some of the corporate case studies.

Over the period that we have released our podcast series, Journeys to Treasury participants have had the opportunity to reflect on the year that has passed, and the year ahead. In this final podcast, the Journeys to Treasury team share their thoughts and reflections.

We hope that you enjoy, and are inspired by, this year’s Journeys to Treasury podcast series. If you would like to find out more about any of the topics or projects described, or would like to participate in future podcast episodes and reports, please contact us on the Journeys to Treasury LinkedIn page.
