Course Overview

Treasury Operations & Controls is a comprehensive professional training course designed to equip banking and financial professionals with the knowledge, operational expertise, and control mechanisms required to manage treasury operations efficiently while maintaining strong governance, regulatory compliance, and operational integrity. As treasury activities become increasingly complex due to evolving financial markets, digital transformation, regulatory requirements, and sophisticated financial instruments, effective treasury operations and robust internal controls are essential for minimizing operational risk, safeguarding financial assets, and supporting sustainable banking performance. This course provides participants with a structured understanding of the end-to-end treasury operating environment, covering front office, middle office, and back office functions, trade execution, confirmation, settlement, reconciliation, collateral management, cash management, securities operations, and treasury accounting. Participants will explore internationally recognized treasury control frameworks, operational governance, segregation of duties, authorization controls, operational risk management, and regulatory expectations. The program emphasizes the importance of strong operational controls in maintaining financial stability, improving process efficiency, and supporting sound corporate governance. The program also examines treasury operational risk management, including trade lifecycle management, settlement risk, reconciliation controls, fraud prevention, exception management, treasury systems, automation, business continuity, and internal audit coordination. Participants will gain practical knowledge of treasury performance monitoring, operational Key Risk Indicators (KRIs), Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), regulatory reporting, and continuous process improvement while strengthening the integration of Treasury Operations & Controls with Enterprise Risk Management, Treasury Risk Management, Compliance, and Finance. Through practical case studies, treasury process simulations, and interactive workshops, participants will strengthen their ability to evaluate treasury processes, improve operational controls, manage treasury risks, resolve operational exceptions, and enhance reporting accuracy. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to strengthen treasury governance, improve operational resilience, enhance control effectiveness, reduce operational losses, and support sustainable treasury performance through effective Treasury Operations & Controls.
