Certificate in Treasury and Cash Management

Program Overview

Treasury teams in the Gulf manage liquidity across multiple banks, currencies and entities while payment volumes and fraud risks keep rising. «Certificate in Treasury and Cash Management» covers the core treasury toolkit: daily cash positioning, short-term liquidity forecasting, cash pooling and in-house banking structures, payment operations and controls, bank relationship management, short-term investment of surpluses and basic FX risk management in a region where most currencies are pegged to the US dollar. Participants practise with cash position sheets, bank fee analyses and treasury policy templates drawn from corporate and government-related entities.
