  • Payment Integrity and Trust in the Age of AI (Eftsure)

    Payment Integrity and Trust in the Age of AI (Eftsure)
    Aug 10 2026
    In this episode, Craig Jeffery and Karthik Manimozhi of Eftsure discuss how AI is reshaping payment fraud and the controls treasury teams need to protect payment integrity without sacrificing efficiency. They examine the three core questions of how to ensure payments go to the right payee, at the right amount, and at the right time, along with the need for a control tower spanning AP, treasury, banks, and ERPs and payment rails. The conversation also explores agent oversight, AI-native workflows, continuous auditing, and opportunities to unlock working capital.

  • AI Limitations and Opportunities in Treasury (Valorean Technologies)

    AI Limitations and Opportunities in Treasury (Valorean Technologies)
    Aug 3 2026

    In this episode, Craig Jeffery and Arjun Krishnan discuss five key limitations of enterprise AI in treasury: data quality, pattern-based reasoning without true understanding, difficulty handling novel situations, variable outputs, and limited explainability. They also explore the opportunities and solutions behind these constraints, including AI-assisted data cleanup, anomaly detection, stronger controls, human oversight, and safer agent-based system design.
