<h1>Improving regulatory compliance reducing operational costs for the treasury operations </h1><strong> Author: <a href='http://www.articleseen.com/profile_wnsglobal.aspx'>wnsglobal</a></strong><br /><p>As one of the world's most respected and largest electronics, media and entertainment conglomerates, our client is committed to strong corporate governance. To ensure that it continues to set the governance agenda for the industry, the company set up a separate treasury services arm to act as an internal banking system for the group, providing various services for its affiliate companies including a foreign exchange hedging service, re-invoicing, funding and financial advising, and reporting. With business interests in over 100 countries, the group's business was growing, as a result, the treasury services team was faced with a significant increase in volume of work. This compounded the challenge of scale: increasing the team delivering treasury services in four major cities while reducing operational costs. As a thought leader in its industry, the client decided to outsource some of its treasury operations to a third party provider in what can inarguably be termed as an industry-first among third party business process outsourcing providers.
