Course Overview

In an era where financial landscapes are increasingly complex and volatile, Treasury and Risk Management Techniques emerges as an essential training solution for professionals seeking to master liquidity, financial risk control, and strategic capital investment. This comprehensive course is a robust amalgamation of the “Comprehensive Treasury and Risk Management Strategies” and “Advanced Treasury Risk Management Skills” programs, designed to equip professionals with both foundational insights and advanced financial acumen.
Modern treasury functions are critical to ensuring an organization maintains adequate liquidity while simultaneously mitigating risks associated with market volatility, currency fluctuations, interest rates, and commodities. The importance of sophisticated risk frameworks has increased due to global disruptions, supply chain issues, and regulatory reforms. According to a 2023 Deloitte Global Treasury Survey, over 73% of CFOs identified treasury and risk management as one of the top three priorities, while 65% have either enhanced or intend to upgrade their treasury systems in response to recent financial turbulence.
In light of such developments, this training emphasizes proactive treasury operations, strategic funding, and best-in-class risk mitigation frameworks. It explores cash flow optimization, capital structuring, asset-liability management, and hedging mechanisms. Participants will explore in-depth methodologies, such as CAPM, Value-at-Risk, and liquidity risk metric suites, and develop decision-making expertise for evaluating investment options, managing counterparty risk, and aligning funding strategies with enterprise objectives.
Key highlights include the formulation and implementation of advanced liquidity risk controls, the design of stress testing models to evaluate institutional resilience, and a clear understanding of compliance with international standards such as IFRS. Furthermore, the training enhances competencies in derivatives like swaps, futures, and options, empowering participants to evaluate and recommend appropriate hedging instruments aligned with corporate strategies. Through this course, delegates will gain the confidence to engage effectively with internal stakeholders, contribute to strategic planning, and elevate the financial governance practices of their institutions.
