Recent growth in Reval’s business shows a willingness—but for how long?
Only low-skill activities can be effectively outsourced. Or so runs a growing consensus. Members of The NeuGroup’s treasury peer groups feel most confident handing the reins for basic processes over to outsiders, or to a shared service center. The tougher stuff they typically keep in the family. So it’s a bit surprising that Reval Center reported an 88 percent increase in its business of handling derivatives hedge accounting and valuation last year—two of the arguably highest-skill things treasury is called upon to handle.
