The course and the learning outcome

In the course, we will give you a framework and insights that will help you in taking up this role in a confident way. We will also cover the (main) levers in working capital management and provide you with some recent trends in treasury management.

  • Financial  & Cash reporting.  
  • The flow of cash.  From the balance sheet, through to the Income statement and the cash flow statement
  • Cash management roles to undertake to optimise the cash
  • How to build a cash budget and forecasting
  • Treasury transactions: Physical cash pooling versus notional pooling
  • Treasury payment systems in the marketplace
  • Financial risk management, the mitigation and the hedging of risks
  • Working capital management
  • Recent trends in treasury management

 

Recommended background

Some experience in the treasury is nice-to-have but certainly not required.

Participant feedback

  • This course was all about Treasury in practise!!!  Sharing work experiences, debates on each topic, academic and very structured. Many thanks! Something I can implement immediate!
  • Great Course! My biggest learning was that cash management is not just about managing customer and supplier payments but that it requires monitoring all financial aspects and statements!
  • The importance of cash flow forecasting was very much underestimated in our company!! I have now the tools and techniques to ensure that our company maintains sufficient cash!    
  • I was not aware of all the risk issues our company was facing! We certainly will implement these to ensure liquidity and operational continuity. Many thanks.    

Learn the way that suits you most!
