Finastra, a global leader in financial services software, today announced enhancements to its KTP treasury management software.

The new functions enable corporate treasurers to execute front-to-back trades fully within the system, as opposed to needing to access multiple tools, driving greater efficiencies including faster time to market, simpler user experience, as well as error reduction.
Eric Aillet, Principal Product Manager at Finastra said, 'In today's complex environment, treasurers need simple solutions to manage day-to-day operations. The updates to our Finastra KTP Corporate Treasury Innovation solution take full advantage of Finastra's advanced technology stack and first-hand feedback from former treasurers, empowering our customers with a system which champions a proactive approach to treasury management.'
Treasurers benefit from an end-to-end management solution, removing the need to juggle individual functions from multiple systems (including execution, position keeping, and confirmation matching).
Natively integrated with 360T and Finastra CMS, users can configure workflows to automate the processes from deal execution through to confirmation and settlement.
The cloud-enabled platform now includes web-based, real-time dashboards, designed to support treasurers day-to-day with a consolidated view of liquidity and financial positions, offering a more intuitive and simpler user experience and providing greater consistency across geographies. Based on a responsive design, the solution is inherently business process-oriented, reducing the learning curve.
The dashboard updates also contribute to reliability, providing monitoring tools for error management. For example, with Finastra technology the risk of accidentally inverting the direction of a transaction is dramatically reduced, as is the risk of double entries, inherent when multiple systems are in play.
A dashboarding engine delivers an easy-to-configure report engine, integral for customizing decision-making and managerial reports. With compliance also being an important consideration, the KTP platform includes the ability for treasurers to check directly with the front-office to ensure best execution.
The enhancement is part of Finastra's ongoing commitment to helping its corporate treasurer customers meet changing market demands.

Private schools lose High Court battle against Starmer's VAT raid

A group of private schools, pupils and their parents have lost a High Court challenge over Labour's imposition of VAT on fees. It comes after six families last year launched a legal challenge against the government's controversial tax raid, claiming the tax raid is discriminatory against certain pupils. The legal challenge claimed the policy - which imposes 20 per cent VAT on private schools - causes unnecessary harm to certain categories of children, such as those with special needs. The families were therefore seeking a declaration of incompatibility under section 4 of the Human Rights Act, saying the new tax is incompatible with ECHR rights. While the legal challenge would not have been able to halt the VAT policy in its tracks or reverse it even if successful, it would have been a major blow to ministers and piled pressure on them to consider further exemptions. The government has estimated the tax raid will raise £1.7bn per year by 2029-30, money which ministers said would be used to fund 6,500 new teachers for state schools. So far, private school pupil numbers have fallen by more than 11,000 in England following the tax hike, Department for Education data showed. In January 2025, there were around 582,500 pupils at English private schools, down from 593,500 at the same point last year. When the policy was introduced, Treasury impact assessments estimated that private school fees would increase by around 10 per cent as a result of the introduction of VAT, But in May, ISC figures showed that fees have increased by 22.6 per cent in the last year, with parents now paying out more than £22,000 a year on average. On average, the Treasury predicts that 35,000 pupils would move into UK state schools 'in the long-term steady state'. A further 2,000 children would leave private schools, the department estimated, consisting of international pupils who do not move into the UK state system or domestic pupils who move into homeschooling.
