Corporate Treasury Management

Strengthening Liquidity, Managing Financial Risk and Making Better Funding Decisions

Overview

A business can record growing sales and still struggle to pay suppliers, meet payroll or fund its operations. The pressure often lies in when cash comes in, when obligations fall due and how the business manages the gap.

This practical programme equips finance and treasury professionals with the knowledge, analytical skills and control practices required to manage liquidity, evaluate funding options and respond to financial risks.

Participants will work through cash forecasting, working capital management, borrowing decisions and treasury controls to support more informed financial decisions.

Why This Programme Matters

The bank balance tells you how much cash is available today. It does not tell you whether the business can meet its commitments next week or next month.

Delayed customer payments, poorly timed supplier obligations, rising borrowing costs and foreign-currency commitments can put pressure on an otherwise profitable business.

Without clear forecasts and effective controls, management may discover funding gaps only when payments become urgent.

This programme helps participants anticipate cash requirements, understand the causes of liquidity pressure and make better decisions about cash, borrowing and financial commitments.
