COURSE OBJECTIVES:This course will demystify the treasury department, where staff may appear to speak a different language – using terms like swaps, derivatives, LIBOR, marking-to-market, etc. We will look at their roles and responsibilities, who they interface with and look at some of the traditional treasury techniques. No prior knowledge is assumed and all terminology will be fully explained. A full glossary of terms will be provided.
