Course Introduction

Effective treasury management protects an organisation’s liquidity, manages financial risk, and ensures funds are available when and where they are needed. This Treasury and Cash Management course builds practical treasury skills — distinct from and complementary to Prospen’s existing Cash Flow Management and Forecasting course — covering banking relationships, funding strategy, and financial risk management alongside core liquidity practice.

The treasury function is changing fast: real-time, API-driven payments, the ISO 20022 data standard, and AI-assisted cash forecasting are reshaping how treasury teams operate. This course reflects those shifts directly, alongside the core disciplines of banking relationship management, risk management, and investment strategy. Case-study driven and built around anonymised treasury scenarios, you’ll leave with a draft treasury policy template built for your own organisation.
