Due to popular demand, we now offer three tiers of treasury management training for BSA Members, Associates and Non-members. The courses will be repeated throughout the year and places for each course are to be booked individually via the booking form on the relevant event page:

An introduction to treasury management
Treasury risk and balance sheet management (see below for details)
Advanced treasury risk and balance sheet management

The objective of this course is to provide an overview of the financial and balance sheet risks a building society faces as a consequence of being a mortgage lender.

We will consider all key risks including liquidity, interest rate risk, credit risk and operational risks, and the regulation and governance that goes with it. We will also examine the role of board governance and the relevant committees, especially the Asset and Liabilities Committee.

"Well-paced course with lots of food for thought.  Very enjoyable as well as useful for my role"

"Would recommend, whether it’s someone with previous experience of the sector or not.  It reinforces the previous introductory course which in itself is useful but takes it a stage further."

"Brilliant training – good course material brought to life by Dean.  Pitched at the right level"

"Dean has kaleidoscopic understanding of the topic and is a lively and engaging presenter"
