AI in Treasury and Finance: Planning for Opportunity

About this episode

The episode discusses the rapid acceleration of AI adoption in treasury and finance, focusing on its applications and benefits.

AI adoption in treasury is rapidly accelerating, 3/4 of organisations are currently expanding their AI usage, mainly for forecasting, fraud detection, and reconciliation, though maturity remains low across most firms. Referencing findings from PwC's latest Global Treasury Survey, Robin Page (TMI) and Naman Kuwadia (PwC) discuss the rise of agentic AI and 'digital workforces' that integrate across treasury systems to automate processes, enhance decision-making, and break down silos. Framing AI as an augmentation tool, Kuwadia highlights how treasurers can drive greater efficiency, strengthen risk control, and shift their focus toward strategic insight, governance, and higher-value business partnering.
