General notes

Practical Exercises and Outputs Participants will work with realistic corporate treasury and banking scenarios to prepare a rolling cash-flow forecast, daily cash-position report, funding requirements schedule and working capital analysis. They will construct an asset-liability maturity ladder, calculate liquidity gaps, analyse interest rate sensitivity, assess funding concentration and conduct liquidity stress tests under adverse scenarios. Additional exercises will cover treasury investment comparisons, foreign exchange exposure assessment, contingency funding planning and dashboard development. By the end of the workshop, participants will produce a treasury management report, liquidity forecast, ALM gap analysis, liquidity stress-testing model, risk mitigation plan and treasury performance dashboard suitable for adaptation to their organisations.
