Introduction

Treasury and risk management functions are central to organisational stability, financial resilience, and effective governance. As regulatory requirements, financial volatility, and market uncertainty continue to increase, treasury professionals are required to manage liquidity, funding, and financial risk while supporting strategic decision-making. Weak treasury oversight can expose organisations to cash shortfalls, unmanaged risk exposures, and governance failures. This Treasury and Risk Management training course addresses the governance, analytical, and risk management disciplines required to operate an effective treasury function.

The course provides a structured understanding of treasury responsibilities, financial risk identification, and risk mitigation strategies. It focuses on aligning treasury operations with corporate governance expectations, enabling organisations to balance liquidity, investment returns, and risk exposure while supporting long-term strategic objectives.
