Treasury in a Day

The Treasury in a Day course was held on 23 October 2023

Our participants joined our training partner, Zanders, on 23 October 2023 at the Madinat Jumeirah, Dubai for an in-person introduction to corporate treasury in just one day. 

The course provided a unique face-to-face opportunity to learn about the key concepts of treasury and gain an understanding of the most commonly used financial instruments.
