About this course
Focuses on advanced treasury practice for organisations with significant cash, borrowing and currency exposures. Topics include rolling liquidity forecasts, cash concentration and pooling, short-term investment and counterparty limits, managing interest rate and foreign exchange risk with forwards and swaps, treasury policy and governance, and treasury performance reporting to executive committees and boards.
Why this course
Treasury decisions on funding, investment and hedging can move results more than many operating decisions, and mistakes are costly. Organisations with foreign currency debt or large imports carry real exposure to exchange rate swings. Strong treasury practice protects liquidity, lowers funding costs and keeps risk within limits the board has approved.
