FTI Treasury Talks | Episode 12: Intercompany Netting

In this episode of FTI Treasury Talks : Conversations with the Experts, we take a close look at intercompany netting, one of the most impactful yet underutilised tools available to treasury teams in multinational organisations. Justin Callaghan , CEO of FTI Treasury, is joined by Shane O’Keeffe , Head of Innovation and a subject-matter expert in intercompany netting, who brings extensive hands-on experience implementing and managing netting processes for a wide range of multinational and financial services clients. Together, they explore how a well-structured netting process can eliminate up to 70-80% of internal wire transfers, and why the cost savings are only the starting point of a much broader treasury opportunity. The conversation walks through the mechanics of a typical netting cycle, the practicalities of implementation and ERP connectivity, and the less obvious ways in which treasurers can leverage netting once the process is in place. This session is particularly relevant for professionals involved in treasury and cash management, intercompany accounting and shared services, financial operations and ERP management, and CFO and finance leadership teams.
