Course Overview

The Treasury Products and Risk Mitigation Techniques training by Pideya Learning Academy is an advanced program designed to provide finance professionals with the expertise required to navigate complex treasury functions and mitigate financial risks effectively. With global financial markets experiencing increasing volatility, treasury management has become a critical pillar of corporate financial strategy. According to the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), global daily foreign exchange trading volumes have surpassed $7.5 trillion, highlighting the growing need for companies to implement sound risk management strategies to safeguard their financial health. Additionally, studies indicate that over 70% of corporate financial losses stem from ineffective risk management, reinforcing the necessity of structured treasury operations.
This course offers a comprehensive exploration of treasury functions, equipping participants with an in-depth understanding of cash flow management, financial risk assessment, and regulatory compliance. Professionals will gain knowledge of profit and cost centers, as well as the implementation of efficient financial structures such as netting and in-house banking to optimize financial operations. The training emphasizes the development of policies, procedures, and controls to mitigate financial exposure and ensure compliance with global financial regulations.
One of the key focuses of this training is currency risk management, an essential aspect of treasury operations. Participants will explore strategies for client exposure management, hedging solutions, and the application of financial instruments such as forward contracts, currency swaps, and options. This training also introduces the advantages of natural hedging and how organizations can leverage innovative financial techniques to manage foreign exchange risks efficiently.
A critical component of the course is the strategic use of hedging in financial risk management. Participants will be guided on identifying and analyzing financial risks, managing long and short positions, and applying derivatives to hedge against fluctuations in interest rates and currency markets. Essential concepts, including put/call parity, leverage, and the differences between OTC and exchange-traded instruments, will be thoroughly examined to enhance participants’ decision-making abilities.
The training further delves into money market operations and interest rate risk management, covering instruments such as Treasury Bills, Certificates of Deposit (CDs), and repurchase agreements (repos). Participants will gain expertise in constructing and interpreting money market yield curves, a fundamental skill for financial decision-making and investment strategies. By mastering these techniques, professionals will be better equipped to evaluate upside and downside risks and enhance profitability.
