Participants will develop a practical, end-to-end understanding of the treasury function—covering organization design, bank relationship management, working capital, cash and liquidity, FP&A linkages, controls, and risk management—so treasury better supports strategy and day-to-day operations. Participants will apply concepts through case-based analysis and calculations (e.g., WACC, hedging structures, cash-forecast models) to strengthen decision-making and communication with lenders and internal stakeholders.

• Treasury professionals, controllers, finance managers, and FP&A leaders seeking a structured treasury toolkit. 
• Practitioners who interact with credit agreements, cash-flow planning, or risk programs and want stronger negotiation and control practices.  

By the end of this course, participants should be able to: 

• Describe the mandate and operating model of a modern treasury function and align it with organizational objectives. 
• Manage bank relationships and credit agreements, including negotiation approaches, covenant monitoring, and compliance practices. 
• Build and interpret cash-flow forecasts and short-term liquidity plans, and link treasury’s FP&A analyses to capital-investment decisions. 
• Optimize working capital policies and cash-management structures, and evaluate short-term investing and borrowing alternatives. 
• Identify treasury risks (FX, interest rate, liquidity, operational/cyber) and outline hedging, policy, and control frameworks to mitigate them.  

Topics include: 

• The corporate treasury function: role, organization, regulatory landscape, and banking sector context. 
• Bank relationship management: negotiating credit facilities, syndications, covenant mechanics, and compliance practices. 
• FP&A and modeling: WACC and investment appraisal, discounted-cash-flow linkages, and predictive modeling for liquidity and strength. 
• Working capital management: liquidity measurement, investment/financing strategies, global considerations, and analytics. 
• Cash management and capital markets: cash-pooling concepts, short-term investments/borrowings, policies, systems (including SWIFT) and cash-forecasting. 
• Treasury operations and control: governance, COSO/ERM concepts, policies and procedures, key controls, technology and cyber risk, transformation. 
• Derivatives and risk management: FX and interest-rate risk refreshers, hedge design, and operational controls for risk programs.
