Treasury Risk Policy and Financial Risk Governance Framework Design

Sound treasury depends on clear policy that defines who may take which financial risks and within what limits. This course guides finance leaders in designing a treasury policy and financial risk governance framework covering liquidity, funding, currency, interest rate and counterparty risk. It draws on the governance expectations that boards and auditors apply to African corporates and their treasuries.

What you will be able to do

  • Define the scope and purpose of a treasury risk management policy.
  • Set limits and mandates for liquidity, funding, currency and interest rate risk.
  • Establish counterparty and investment risk controls for treasury activity.
  • Design the governance structure and delegation for treasury decisions.
  • Build reporting that gives the board assurance over treasury risk.
  • Embed and review the framework so it stays fit for purpose.
