Practical Treasury Management

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

Is it for you?

Yes, if you’re:

• A treasury manager, treasury dealer, treasury assistant or a new entrant to the treasury function.
• A specialist who requires an overview of the total treasury function.
• Someone who works with treasury internally (e.g. an accountant, member of tax staff, IT, or an internal auditor).
• A banker, auditor, software vendor, or a consultant wishing to understand more about treasury.

What is it about?

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.

Providing the perfect forum to learn about the corporate treasury function in modern
international markets, this course 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 brings together participants from all over the world and provides a perfect opportunity to network and reflect upon best practice.
