Course Background

The recent credit turmoil has focused attention on treasury risk measurement and management techniques. Corporates along with banks will face a lot more scrutiny when trying to raise capital either through loans, equities or hybrid instruments. A major breakdown in corporate governance has helped to create a severe shortage of finance and willing investors. Treasurers will therefore have to use more sophisticated tools to deal with the crises both in the short term and long term in order to reassure and restore investor confidence. Our treasury school is designed for senior treasurers who need to build up their knowledge of sophisticated treasury policies in order to reestablish shareholder and investor confidence. Whether issuing shares or bonds, the treasurer must develop treasury procedures that satisfy external auditors, regulators and more importantly investors. Specifically the course looks at:

  • Corporate finance post the credit crunch
  • Weaknesses in the accounting standards and how they can be corrected
  • Practical difficulties in matching treasury risk with hedge accounting requirements
  • What we can learn from Basel II and how corporate treasurers can incorporate the changing regulatory landscape
  • Corporate governance – the need to reassure the shareholder
  • Hybrid instruments, the bond market and the equity market

This intensive course is designed to train senior treasurers so that they can fill the growing demand for executives who can raise finance and reduce the cost of capital for entities by reassuring the investor base. Emphasis will be based on analyzing the treasury instruments available together with the sophisticated techniques to measure and control risk as well as communicating the risk reward profile to external investors. The course will also focus on what type of instruments that investors are prepared to use in the future. In particular, the course will help treasurer to understand the concerns and requirements of investors.
