- what controls are needed and the dangers of de-centralised corporate treasury
- the type of systems to use and who should manage them
- why sychnronisation of bank account details is critical.
- eBAM - the realities:
- eBAM’s core idea and why it should be called SWIFT eBAM
- how use eBAM in managing bank relationships
- need to insist that your banks used SWIFT 20022 messages in bank account reporting and management
- why an eBAM showdown is coming between large corporates and the banks.
- managing your banking wallet:
- why it is critical to know what you are spending on banks world-wide
- how to balance cost efficiency with bank relationship management
- how to use share of wallet assessment to manage your banks.

Thanks for a very interesting and fresh perspective on electronic bank account management, combining risk management and internal controls framework, expense monitoring and controls, and treasury processes assessment, apart from a lively, though brief introduction to ISO 20022.
It would be interesting to know Dan’s views on where Treasury Management Systems could figure in setting up the new dynamic of e-BAM, and if there are any systems out there in a readily implementable mode that have as their objective the delivery of all of the above aspects.
Thanks, again, Ganesh
