Content
Over the past 20 years treasury management has widened in terms of the scope of activities within its domain. It has become the heart of all banking or corporate organisations. Its goal is more than simply to optimise the financial success of the enterprise, but also to ensure the protection and availability of resources.
Treasury management must not only secure the financing of all other business activities, but is also responsible for determining the price curve used for setting the prices of the enterprise's products.
For this reason, the course examines all the aspects of treasury management:
- the risks involved in market operations: including counterparty, market, (rates and currencies), liquidity and operational risk
- the real examples of the instruments used to manage these risks
- illustrating exercises through applied exercises
Indeed, any treasury manager must understand the underlying financial mechanism, be able to calculate the price of financial instruments, and use them to manage risks.
