Practical Treasury Management

An in-depth look at the role and key functions of corporate treasury

Course overview

This highly interactive five-day course provides a comprehensive overview of the treasury function for new entrants, bankers and those working alongside the treasury function.

Based on the Certificate in International Treasury Management (CertITM) syllabus, the course provides the perfect forum to learn about the corporate treasury function. It is ideal for anyone who wants to understand more about treasury operations – including finance directors, accountants, tax managers and line managers. Banks will find the insight into their corporate clients equally invaluable.

The course includes numerous presentations from senior treasurers to bring a ‘real-life’ perspective and culminates in a case study which gives participants the opportunity to apply some of the skills they have learnt to a corporate example.
