In recent years, treasury has evolved from an operational function into a key strategic management tool. Small and medium-sized enterprises, in particular, face the challenge of managing liquidity, financing and risks professionally, whilst at the same time meeting the growing demands of an increasingly complex market environment.

In today’s episode, Fabio Bär talks to Simon Stelly about the role and development of treasury in small and medium-sized enterprises.

The focus is on issues relating to the organisation and further development of the treasury function, the benefits of centralisation, the key tasks within treasury, and the value drivers and future challenges facing the function.

Simon Stelly provides fascinating insights into treasury practice at Ritter Sport and discusses projects, developments and challenges within an internationally active family-run business.
