DACT and partners Enigma Consulting and Rabobank are proud to invite you to participate in the 9th online DACT Treasury Barometer Survey of the year 2023.

Thanks to your participation we will be able to analyze and share the latest trends and developments in the corporate treasury landscape at the DACT Treasury Fair on March 31, 2023

We believe in an independent DACT Treasury Barometer for and by the treasury community and have therefore selected an Editor Panel which will monitor the quality and relevance of the DACT Treasury Barometer.

We appreciate your participation and your time to respond to this survey. The survey is anonymous and we do not ask to register personal data.

Thanks for your cooperation!

It takes approximately 20 minutes to fill out this survey. There are multiple tabs in the survey that cover a separate treasury topic.

At the bottom of each page you will find the following buttons:

• “Previous” – use this button to go back to the previous tab to check or change your answers.
• “Submit” – this button becomes visible on the last tab when you filled out all of the (compulsory) questions.
• “Next” – use this button to continue the survey to the next tab. On the last tab you need to click the “Submit” button instead of the “Next” button in order to send your answers.

Innovation is at the core of building a best-in-class Treasury function and in recent years, there have been numerous innovations that could benefit a Treasury function. While some innovations have been widely adopted, others are still in a pilot phase or have a business case that is not so compelling (yet). In line with the past two years, we are eager to learn which innovations are relevant for your organization and Treasury function.

Digital identity is the collection of data that represents a unique person or entity online. Digital identity services are services to identify, authenticate and validate this identity of a person or organisation. Part of digital identity services are also digital documentation signing and storage. Various services, like iDIN, SurePay and CoC check, are used for these matters. The following questions are about the use and impact of digital identity services within the Treasury organisation.

Sanction detection is a job that might be considered as the responsibility of the bank. Nevertheless, the company itself also has a responsibility to act according to international law and regulation. The following questions refer to the way your Treasury organization uses new technology to detect fraudulent transactions or to be compliant with EU sanctions and regulation.

November 2023 will mark the start of a new era of data messaging between banks and their clients. ISO 20022 is emerging as the common language for exchanging structured electronic messages. This new XML-based standard will allow for rich, structured data to be exchanged between banks and their clients. All clearing systems and banks offering transactions in major currencies will have shifted to the new standard by November 2025. This shift will offer major benefits. The migration may also require efforts to adjust in-house operations. Key elements are: unique transaction identifiers and structured client address data. Key benefits for corporates are: efficient reconciliation, enhanced invoice information at scale, and fewer manual processes to reduce DSO and improve working capital. 

The current economic environment is challenging (high inflation, increased energy costs). With the following questions, we would like to gain knowledge on how your results were/are impacted by the unstable environment. How did you manage these issues? Knowing the current situation and looking back – would you have done something differently? What was your forecasting process?

Please answer the open follow-up questions as shortly as possible.

The war on talent is on. Many vacancies in finance are hard to fill. Sometimes people with insufficient qualifications might be filling the gaps (temporarily), or the workload of related employees is just increased, as such leading to potential other problems. ​

Sustainable finance refers to the process of taking environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations into account when making investment decisions in the financial sector.
