This two-day course explores the full context of derivatives used in Treasury Departments including the three core operations functions: trades processing, confirmations and settlements.

Content

We will employ team exercises for each of the derivatives types to allow participants to develop their understanding of how these products are employed within Treasury Management.

 
The financial crisis has put treasurers in the hot seat as they strive to sustain liquidity in the face of unprecedented funding constraints and to safeguard the business against heightened credit, counterparty, commodity and foreign exchange risks.
The emphasis has been “Cash is King” and “Opacity is the enemy”. The treasury function has historically had to fight for resource and systems budgets. It now also has to double efforts to illustrate the economic capital benefits in using derivatives and to prove their balance sheet worth.
Derivatives employment is under increased scrutiny from G-20, Governments and Regulators where central counterparty credit risk management and solvency capital are just some of the front-page topics.
Now is a good time to refresh and improve your knowledge of derivatives as the markets develop again and treasury assumes a re-modeled fulcrum role.
