The objective of this course it to take a deep dive into liquidity risk and interest rate risk using practical workshop sessions. We will also analyse the output from management information and see how to read and understand key reports.

The course will be useful for those who attend ALCO/Risk Committees, or work in related areas who require detailed understanding of treasury operations. 
It’s aimed at:

- executive and non-executive directors;
