Conduct a deep-dive analysis to determine what it will take to modernize the IT landscape within a two-to-three-year timeframe. Focus not only on the IT requirements, such as shifting to a cloud platform and microservices-based architecture, but also on the underlying data, skills, ways of working, and governance needs. Respondent organisations represented around 44% of the identified green bond universe accounted for a total of USD7.4tn in bonds outstanding, including USD222bn of green bonds and collectively had issued 686 green bonds at the time of data collection. I hope everyone interested in treasure will continue to help us build on the successes of the past to make the Treasure Act 1996 even more effective as it embarks on its next quarter-century. In 2020, reported treasure finds were 1,071 [footnote 6], representing a total of 31,388 artefacts (objects and coins). A ‘treasure find’ can be made of multiple artefacts, hence the total number of artefacts is much higher than the number of reported treasure finds. The total treasure finds were 1,049 for England, 22 for Wales, and 0 for Northern Ireland. 3. Reported finds by Location, 2020 (final) & 2021 (provisional)
Banks served as an important source of support for their customers and communities during the first waves of the COVID-19 crisis. Now, however, institutions must see to their own profitability. The pandemic has exacerbated preexisting structural and market pressures and injected new steering complexity. The adoption of treasury management technologies in the cloud has increased since we conducted our survey last in 2019. Respondents also share how they have increased the adoption of APIs, automation, andvisualisation technologies to complement treasury management systems (compared to our last survey in 2019). Unabated volatility in the last few years has made cash balance visibility extremely important for treasurers. These periods of uncertainty have brought testing times for treasurers when they have to ensure that their firm is well funded and liquid to weather the storm.
Almost unanimously, a majority of respondents said that FX, commodity, geopolitical and liquidity risks have emerged as a key risk management priority in 2022. But how do treasurers de-risk their operations? While conducting the survey, we observed some companieswho were still dealing with impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic whereas otherorganisations considered the pandemic in the review-mirror and were now focused on new priorities and challenges. In 2020, the provisional number of reported treasure finds was 1,077. This was lower than the final 2019 figure, though still the seventh year in a row, and the seventh time since the Treasure Act of 1996 [footnote 5] replaced the old common law of Treasure Trove in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, when treasure finds exceeded 1,000. On 2 November 2023, the Reported Treasure Finds 2020/21 data tables were revised, after an error was identified in one of the data tables. In Table 5, number of treasure cases acquired by or donated to museums for England, Wales and Northern Ireland, 2012 - 2021, the data was incorrectly presented for 2018 and subsequent years. This has been corrected and data included in the rest of the report and accompanying tables is not affected by this change. Meanwhile, 54% of treasurers mentioned that cash visibility is the highest priority for them in their relationship with their transaction and cash banking providers and analytical quality being a key priority for 40% treasurers.
The general theme you will see across this year’s report is that the market has been incredibly busy across both commerce and industry and banking and financial services. The continued demand for the treasury skillset, in addition to an increased number of opportunities, has meant candidates are in a strong position when it comes to salary negotiations. As a result, treasury professionals have been able to secure significant uplifts when making an external move. Almost unanimously, most of our respondents have selected liquidity risk management and being a steward for financial risk management as critical mandates. Mandates working capitaloptimisation and enhancing governance and control over global treasury operations has gained more focus by treasury groups since the last time we conducted the survey.

Boardrelations are stronger than ever.were donated to museums (44 object cases, 4 coin cases) allowing them to be acquired by museums at no (or reduced) public cost However, there is a certain obscurity related to how the treasury team will be participating in this movement. Will they be implementing a Sustainable supply chain, ESG linked bank lending/bonds, ESG based investments or even sustainable deposits with banking partners? Our survey suggests that the majority of treasurers are currently evaluating these options and opportunities to drive firm level sustainability goals.

If you act in bad faith (for example by trespassing or trying to hide the find) you may get a reduced share of the reward, or none at all. The figures show a sustained growth in the number of treasure cases, with a total of 1,303 reported. This is an increase of 67% over the last decade - and a more than fivefold increase since the introduction of the Act. Although this report covers the year before the COVID-19 pandemic began, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has worked so hard during that challenging period to keep the treasure process functioning. This includes the local Finds Liaison Officers, Amgueddfa Cymru / National Museum Wales, and the Department of Agriculture, Environment & Rural Affairs and the Ulster Museum in Northern Ireland, who have all continued to work as the gateway to the treasure process. I thank the Treasure Registry at the British Museum, which organised online valuations and meetings for the Treasure Valuation Committee during the age of social distancing - and the members of the Committee themselves, under their Chairman Roger Bland, who have continued to provide their informed and well-considered recommendations in difficult circumstances. Of the total 1,071 reported treasure finds, 1,039 (97%) of these were discovered by metal detecting. Treasurers frequently deal with risk and are well equipped to handle these difficulties. However, the current economic market will significantly affect some enterprises and, consequently, their treasury units. Here are the key themes that have emerged during the year.Consistent across all company sizes was an increased focus of combining technical treasury experience with data/modelling, digital, as well as soft skills. Comparing the level of adoption of key technologies by treasurers last year with the 2022 survey, we saw that there has been an increase in the proportion of treasurers who have embedded data warehousing, APIs/Cloud and Virtual bank accounts within their operations.
